Did you know that the color of an egg yolk is influenced by what the hen eats? 讀 Hens raised in cages and fed industrial feed typically lay eggs with pale yellow yolks. When they have access to some plants and insects, the yolk turns a deeper orange. 凌 The richest, most vibrant yolks come from free-range hens that eat a varied diet of greens, farm scraps, and bugs. This is due to carotenoidsnatural pigments found in many foods. The more diverse and natural the hens diet, the brighter, tastier, and more nutritious the yolk becomes!
