What it is

Eggs laid by hens that spend a significant portion of their day outdoors, foraging on pasture. This contrasts with conventional eggs where hens are typically kept indoors. The diet of pasture-raised hens often includes insects and plants, which can influence the nutritional profile of their eggs.

Why it's used

Eggs are a versatile ingredient used for binding, leavening, and adding richness and flavor to foods. They are commonly found in baked goods, breakfast items like pancakes and waffles, and as a primary ingredient in egg dishes and substitutes.

Health notes

Eggs are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers eggs to be a safe and nutritious food. While research on the health effects of specific farming practices like pasture-raising is ongoing, eggs are generally recognized as safe for consumption by regulatory bodies worldwide. They are not typically associated with significant health concerns when consumed as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Eggs are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. People with an egg allergy should avoid consuming them.
