Free-Range eggs are more nutritious than cage-raised eggs, as they come from hens fed primarily grains and some insects. However, they are less nutritious than pasture-raised eggs.
More varied diets (like those from free-range hens) contain significantly more vitamin A, which is excellent for bone and eye health; vitamin E, which promotes circulation and prevents oxidation; and omega-3 fatty acids, which are helpful for lowering cholesterol and blood pressure.
Better yet, free-range eggs contain less saturated fat and cholesterol than factory-raised eggs, making them better in every way—except perhaps the price. But it’s worth the expense, don’t you think?
