Egg Yolks Are Supposed to be Orange..
Few things have been so poorly treated as the American chicken egg. First the diet dictocrats denigrated it as a source of high cholesterol, even though no credible research could back that up.
Then the assembly line poultry industry set up chicken "concentration camps" that kept the girls confined to boxes so small that they could not move.
To make things worse, they were fed a diet of corn and soybeans because that was the cheapest food available.
The eggs that resulted from such a process were yellow in color because they were low in beta-carotene. The shells were white because leghorns lay more eggs per day that other hens and that got them to the "preferred breed" status.
Our eggs are different. They come from chickens that are free to hunt outside for grass, insects, wild grains and other foods that they would naturally eat. We supplement that with a healthy grain mix.
The resulting eggs are large and delicious. They yolks are more orange than yellow.
Try some!
