Local, farm fresh fertile eggs are richer in vitamins and minerals while

industrial eggs are significantly lower in nutrients. You are also reducing

the risk of consuming antibiotic-resistant bacteria by eating local eggs.

There are two sides to the story. Some believe there is no difference and

some believe there is.

It's not about brown vs white eggs. It's about how the chicken who

laid it was raised. Usually, battery housed chickens are white egg

layers, but some brown eggs are really no better. Also, some white egg

layers live on family farms and are free-ranging so their white eggs

are fine to eat. You are more likely to find free-range eggs in brown,

however. April was right on about the difference in nutritional

quality between conventionally raised eggs and free-range farm fresh

eggs.

Jan, another good book is Food Smart, Eat Your Way To Better Health, by

Cheryl Townsley. This book is what got me started down the road to

healthier eating. It explains what the processed foods do to us, how they

play a part in the disease process and what simple steps we can take to

change our eating habits that are really quite painless. She gives a list

of typical kitchen pantry foods and spices and such where she lists the item

and it's healthy counterpart to show you how to reform your kitchen. The

list is rather extensive but simple. She gives you a step-by-step strategy

for making permanent changes. It really changed my eating habits and

lifestyle. This book has been around for awhile so you could probably pick

it up relatively inexpensively on ebay or used on Amazon or Half Books.

You can replace white eggs with brown eggs.

You got me there--how are brown eggs better than white eggs?

********************************************************************

They're not. I have both brown and white egg layers. It's a question of

breed. What you want to look for is a local farm where they have a

small flock of free-range chickens that get plenty of bugs, greens and

exercise...buy those eggs...they are usually very, very fresh, while

the eggs in the store are about 6 weeks old at the very least by the

time you take them off of the shelf.

Also, they are taken from very stressed, malnourished birds.

The eggs from my chickens have bright orange, firm large yolks. The

taste is incredible. The ONLY problem is you can't make decent hard-

boiled eggs with them. You have to let them sit for a few weeks.

Without that little air space in the shell that comes with age

(relatively, eggily speaking), they are almost impossible to peel!

Blessings, Jill!

Fresh eggs need about 3 days to be peel-able when boiled. But Child

had a way to do it - dip them in cold water briefly after boiling, then

peel. I don't remember the particulars, but it can be done. I just poach

them. They are so fresh they stay together and it is faster to do, so uses

less energy.

I drive 2 hours to gte my raw milk and range free eggs, stopping by all the farm

stands along the way.... Yes the egg yolks are a very bright yellow to orange

when they are free range... When I drive up for the eggs I notice a large wire

cage around the barn area so know they are range free.. There is another place

(more commercial size) on my round that say they have " organic eggs " but I don't

see where they are outside at all... (the yolks here are a med yellow to pale

yellow...

I found out what you mean by peeling them... Winder if you could soak egg

shell in KTea for calcium would be a good thing....

It sounds good, April, I've added it to my list. I did buy the Nourishing

Traditions. I sure hope it's enjoyable to read since it is so thick! Plus, it

would make it easier on my brain.

April, I took your advice and checked out Amazon. I ordered a copy (like new)

for $.01 That's right 1 cent. LOL Shipping was $3.99, but would've been if I

paid full price. :o)

LOL!! It's a good book and easy to read. She tells a lot of her own

personal story and how she changed her life and health. It's very

inspiring. I've had the book for over seven years and I still refer to it

sometimes.

Happy reading!!
