Egg testing found that, compared to official U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrient data for commercial eggs, eggs from hens raised on pasture contain:
• 1/3 less cholesterol
• 1/4 less saturated fat
• 2/3 more vitamin A
• 2 times more omega- 3 fatty acids
• 3 times more vitamin E
• 7 times more beta carotene
These amazing results come from egg samples collected from 14 flocks around the country that range freely on pasture
