Eco-eggs

There is a growing effort to improve the condition of chickens in factory farming operations.

Look for the following labels on the eco-friendly eggs you buy:

- Free-range eggs are from chickens that have room to move and are fed outside.

- Grain-fed eggs come from chickens that are fed a diet close to their natural diet instead of uncertain meat by-products. Omega oils are in all eggs , but grain fed chickens will have a higher percentage if they are fed flax seeds.

- Organic eggs are grown in a certified organic chicken farm without antibiotics, hormones or pesticides.
