Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 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. -- April On 9/18/07, Anita <a1hellman@...> wrote: > > > > > You can replace white > > eggs with brown eggs. > > You got me there--how are brown eggs better than white eggs? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 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. -- In kombucha tea , " Anita " <a1hellman@...> wrote: > > > > > You can replace white > > eggs with brown eggs. > > You got me there--how are brown eggs better than white eggs? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 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. -- April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 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!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 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.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 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.... HippeeSandee They're not. I have both brown and white egg layers.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 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. jan April McCart <sweetlotuscreations@...> wrote: Jan, another good book is Food Smart, Eat Your Way To Better Health, by Cheryl Townsley.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 April, I took your advice and checked out Amazon. I ordered a copy (like new) for $.01 That's right 1 cent.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 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!! -- April On 9/19/07, Jan P. <jpos123@...> wrote: > > April, I took your advice and checked out Amazon. I ordered a copy (like > new) for $.01 That's right 1 cent.
