But first: everything you should know about the different types of eggs on offer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Imagine you&#8217;re at the grocery store doing your weekly shopping. You head over to the refrigerated section to check off the eggs on your list, and here&#8217;s where the confusion sets in.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Why are there so many different types of eggs at various price points? What do the different egg colors, labels, and ratings mean? And finally, what are the best eggs to buy?<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-different-types-of-eggs\">Different Types of Eggs<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>To begin, there are countless types of eggs to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>As noted above, the main categories of distinction include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>color<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>label\/designation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>grade<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s discuss what all of these factors mean and which qualities are the most valuable in your eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"c5b0a2\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #c5b0a2;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/What-kind-of-eggs-are-best-for-you-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"White, tan, and brown eggs in a carton\" class=\"wp-image-25285 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-egg-colors\">Egg Colors<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Does the health value or flavor of an egg vary based on its shell color? According to Michigan State University Extension, the answer is no.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Egg color is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canr.msu.edu\/news\/why_are_chicken_eggs_different_colors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">determined by the hen&#8217;s genetics<\/a>. Their breed will ultimately tell you the color her eggs will be. Perhaps surprisingly, all eggs start out the color white. If you look at the chicken&#8217;s ear lobes, usually the color will be the same as the eggs they lay.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>(There&#8217;s a breed of chicken that lays blue eggs called Araucana. I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;ve ever seen a chicken with blue ear lobes, but the next time I have an opportunity, I&#8217;m going to start looking!)<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Overall, the bottom line is that that the egg&#8217;s shell color has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8146221\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">no major bearing on nutritional content or taste<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"related-block bg-lighter -mx-4 md:mx-0 p-4 md:p-6 grid grid-cols-2 gap-4 sm:gap-6 my-10\">\n\t<div class=\"col-span-2 text-xs font-semibold uppercase\">Related Stories<\/div>\n\t\n<article><a class=\"flex flex-col sm:flex-row group !no-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-eat-healthy-on-a-budget\/\">\n<div class=\"aspect-square bg-lighter mb-4 sm:mb-0 sm:mr-4 w-full sm:w-20 sm:shrink-0\">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/how-to-eat-healthy-on-a-budget-1-jpg-120x120.webp\" class=\"object-cover w-full block h-full transition-opacity group-hover:opacity-80 !mb-0 not-transparent wp-post-image\" alt=\"how to eat healthy on a budget\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/how-to-eat-healthy-on-a-budget-1-jpg-120x120.webp 120w, https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/how-to-eat-healthy-on-a-budget-1-jpg-245x245.webp 245w, https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/how-to-eat-healthy-on-a-budget-1-jpg-302x302.webp 302w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" data-dominant-color=\"967f65\" style=\"--dominant-color: #967f65;\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"text-xs sm:text-base line-clamp-3 font-semibold group-hover:text-primary\">These Money-Saving Tips Will Help You Save on Healthy Foods<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/article>\n\n<article><a class=\"flex flex-col sm:flex-row group !no-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-eat-more-protein\/\">\n<div class=\"aspect-square bg-lighter mb-4 sm:mb-0 sm:mr-4 w-full sm:w-20 sm:shrink-0\">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-eat-more-protein-1-jpg-120x120.webp\" class=\"object-cover w-full block h-full transition-opacity group-hover:opacity-80 !mb-0 not-transparent wp-post-image\" alt=\"how to eat more protein\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-eat-more-protein-1-jpg-120x120.webp 120w, https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-eat-more-protein-1-jpg-245x245.webp 245w, https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-to-eat-more-protein-1-jpg-302x302.webp 302w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" data-dominant-color=\"aba07a\" style=\"--dominant-color: #aba07a;\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"text-xs sm:text-base line-clamp-3 font-semibold group-hover:text-primary\">You Might Not Be Eating Enough Protein\u2014Here\u2019s How to Squeeze More In<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/article>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-egg-labels-designations\">Egg Labels (Designations)<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a closer look at some of the most common labels on egg cartons and what they mean.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conventional\">Conventional<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>These are your standard eggs, which often have no special label. If that&#8217;s the case, they most likely <a href=\"https:\/\/eggsafety.org\/fact-sheet-types-of-eggs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fall into the &#8220;regular&#8221; category<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>This type of egg comes from chickens raised in large commercial farms. Their wings and beaks are often clipped and they&#8217;re kept in small cages on top of one another.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Due to these living conditions and the fact that they come from large commercial farms, these eggs are the most affordable for those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/50-dollar-grocery-budget\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">with smaller budgets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cage-free\">Cage-Free<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Next, cage-free eggs are actually quite similar to conventional eggs. The chickens that lay cage-free eggs still get their beaks and wings clipped and live in close quarters with minimal sunlight and no guaranteed access to the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The only major difference is that\u2014true to its nomenclature\u2014these chickens aren&#8217;t raised in cages. In terms of cost, cage-free eggs usually cost about a dollar more than regular eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-free-range\">Free-Range<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If the term &#8220;free-range&#8221; makes you think of chickens roaming at will in grassy fields all day, you may want to think again.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Yes, free-range does guarantee that chickens have some access to the outdoors for at least a portion of their lives. Free-range is a blanket term, however, as the amount of time and quantity of space outdoors can vary.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Free-range eggs tend to cost the same as the cage-free variety. They also have no special dietary implications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"917a6d\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #917a6d;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Are-organic-eggs-worth-it-Price-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Woman breaking white organic eggs into bowl for baking\" class=\"wp-image-25286 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-certified-organic\">Certified Organic<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If your eggs are marked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usda.gov\/media\/blog\/2012\/04\/06\/eggstra-eggstra-learn-all-about-them\">with the USDA&#8217;s certified organic designation<\/a>, it means the chickens who laid these eggs were given certified organic feed free from chemicals and antibiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>But are organic eggs worth it?<\/p>\n\n\n<p>One of the main benefits of this type of egg is that its consumption limits your exposure to harmful pesticides. These chickens are also uncaged and free to roam outdoors, so technically, they&#8217;re also known as organic free-range eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Because of this extra step in the production process, the price of organic eggs will be slightly higher than other varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-organic-vegetarian-fed\">Organic Vegetarian-Fed<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Eggs with this label were produced by chickens that were fed a strictly all organic and vegetarian diet.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Sure, the vegetarian-fed label may have a certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/vegeterian-nutritionist-food-diary\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">appeal to vegetarians<\/a>. However, it&#8217;s not necessarily a built-in benefit, as chickens aren&#8217;t ideally vegetarians. After all, worms and bugs are part of a chicken&#8217;s natural diet.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>As far as costs go, the price of organic vegetarian-fed eggs will be slightly higher than that of a certified organic egg.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-antibiotic-free\">Antibiotic-Free<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Antibiotics are more common in chicken feed, but few hens are ever actually injected with antibiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Out of the three types of antibiotics <a href=\"https:\/\/eggsafety.org\/regulations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">approved by the FDA to treat diseases in hens<\/a>, none of them have had any marked effect on the eggs. In fact, these antibiotics actually prevent the hens from laying infected eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pasture-raised\">Pasture-Raised<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Finally, we saved the healthiest eggs to buy for last. When it comes to egg labels, pasture-raised is the gold standard.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>These eggs come straight from chickens raised on a pasture, which typically indicates that they could freely roam full access to sunlight. These chickens ate an organic diet, complete with bugs and worms for nourishment.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Lastly, pasture-raised eggs are free of hormones and antibiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"aaa08b\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #aaa08b;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Different-types-of-eggs-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Man cutting into omelette made with organic free-range eggs\" class=\"wp-image-25283 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-egg-grades\">Egg grades<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Grades are how we classify eggs by structure and consistency. The <a href=\"https:\/\/ask.usda.gov\/s\/article\/What-are-the-egg-grades\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consumer grades for eggs<\/a> in the United States are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>AA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>B<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p>You should know, however, that grades aren&#8217;t a safety standard. If you buy eggs from a grocery store, they should be safe to eat\u2014regardless of the grade.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a deeper dive into the different types of egg grades and what they mean.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-grade-aa\">Grade AA<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Grade AA eggs should have a thick, firm egg white and a clear anchor between the egg and the yolk (called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fsis.usda.gov\/food-safety\/safe-food-handling-and-preparation\/eggs\/shell-eggs-farm-table#16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chalazae<\/a>). The yolk should be round and high.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>These types of eggs are great for all kinds of cooking, but are ideal for poaching and frying. Eggs of this grade are full and regularly shaped.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-grade-a\">Grade A<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Grade A eggs are very similar to AA\u2014however, the whites may be slightly less firm and thick.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>This egg is also great for all uses and is the type most frequently sold in grocery stores. Like AA eggs, this egg has no structural issues.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-grade-b\">Grade B<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Grade B eggs have a thin, flat yolk. The whites tend to be thin and watery with no chalazae.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>This egg grade is unbroken but may be misshapen with stains. It&#8217;s best for unstructured use and is<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fsis.usda.gov\/food-safety\/safe-food-handling-and-preparation\/eggs\/shell-eggs-farm-table#16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> seldom sold at food markets<\/a>. Instead, frozen or freeze-dried egg products often use grade B eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img data-dominant-color=\"b5ad9c\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #b5ad9c;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/best-eggs-to-buy-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Father serving daughter the healthiest, best eggs for breakfast\" class=\"wp-image-25284 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-best-eggs-to-buy\">The Best Eggs to Buy<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>As a registered dietitian, I recommended pasture-raised eggs as the best eggs to buy. After all, the chickens that lay these eggs are able to roam freely and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/vitamin-d-immune-system\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">have access to sunlight<\/a> and fresh air. When you have a healthy chicken, it&#8217;s more likely that they&#8217;ll lay healthy eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, locally farmed eggs are my choice for runner-up. They usually have smaller operations running for their chicken&#8217;s eggs, which often means a better environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"products-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/66\/core-strength\" class=\"text-xs text-dark hover:!text-dark flex items-center border border-light rounded p-4 group !no-underline mb-4 relative pb-16 sm:pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shrink-0 mr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.humnutrition.com\/assets\/5c2fee90-7ede-11f0-a0ef-c10dbf4f15a4.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" class=\"object-cover transition-opacity group-hover:opacity-80 !mb-0\" alt=\"Core Strength\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grow pr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2 flex flex-col sm:flex-row sm:items-center divide-x-0 sm:divide-x divide-light text-sm\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 pr-2 flex\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex mr-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m8.713 3 1.54 3.61 3.46.58L11.207 10l.588 4-3.082-1.878zm4.555 7.253 3.157-3.193c.288-.269.354-.663.288-1.06-.164-.324-.467-.587-.828-.64l-4.353-.663L9.584.562A.965.965 0 0 0 8.713 0a.965.965 0 0 0-.871.562L5.89 4.697l-4.35.663c-.363.053-.665.316-.827.64-.067.397 0 .791.287 1.06l3.157 3.193-.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .388.978c.3.188.697.25 1.024.072l3.889-2.14 3.888 2.14c.324.178.721.116 1.021-.072a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .391-.978z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4.5\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 sm:pl-2 text-medium\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t168 Reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-base font-semibold mb-1 group-hover:text-primary\">Core Strength<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tlow FODMAP protein powder that helps build lean muscle\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"absolute bottom-4 left-4 right-4 sm:bottom-0 sm:left-0 sm:right-0 sm:relative inline-flex justify-center bg-primary group-hover:bg-primary-light text-white rounded py-3 px-12 leading-none text-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pr-1.5 border-r border-primary-lightest\">$40<\/span><span class=\"pl-1.5\">SHOP NOW<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"self-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have access to either of these two options, cage-free or free-range would be your next best bet, mostly because they&#8217;re probably healthier than caged chickens.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>However, if budgetary concerns prevent you from buying premium eggs, don&#8217;t worry.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Simply put, <a href=\"https:\/\/eggsafety.org\/resources\/\">regulatory bodies<\/a> should ensure that every egg on grocery store shelves is safe for human consumption.

Are eggs healthy for you?<\/strong><br>Yes, eggs are nutrient-dense and a great source of high-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/why-do-we-need-protein\/\">protein<\/a>, vitamins like B12 and D, and minerals like selenium. They also contain choline, which supports brain health.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>2. What\u2019s the difference between cage-free, free-range, and pasture-raised eggs?<\/strong><br>Cage-free eggs come from hens living indoors without cages, free-range hens have outdoor access, and pasture-raised hens spend significant time outdoors, often resulting in more nutrient-rich eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Are organic eggs better than regular eggs?<\/strong><br>Organic eggs come from hens fed organic, non-GMO feed and raised without antibiotics or hormones. They may have a healthier nutrient profile and fewer contaminants than conventional eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Are brown eggs healthier than white eggs?<\/strong><br>No, the color of the eggshell doesn\u2019t affect nutritional content; it simply depends on the hen\u2019s breed. Both brown and white eggs can be equally healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>5. What are the health benefits of eating eggs?<\/strong><br>Eggs support muscle building, heart health, and brain function due to their protein, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/healthy-fats-list\/\">healthy fats<\/a>, and essential nutrients like choline, lutein, and zeaxanthin.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>6. What\u2019s the best kind of egg to buy for the most nutrition?<\/strong><br>Pasture-raised or omega-3 enriched eggs are typically the most nutrient-rich, offering higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins compared to conventional eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"cta-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10 p-px md:rounded bg-white text-black relative  bg-no-repeat bg-cover aspect-[83\/48]\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BlogBackground_Quiz.jpg);\" >\n\n\t<div class=\"p-4 sm:p-6 w-[70%] md:w-2\/3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-2xl md:text-3xl font-display font-bold uppercase\">Build Your Supplement Routine<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-large btn-primary mt-4 md:mt-8 !no-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/get_started\" target=\"_blank\">Take The HUM Quiz<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carrie Gabriel, MS, RDN, shares her take on the best eggs to buy based on health content and value.
