AriRodriguez56 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Okay so I am reading about the benefits of buying pastured + organic eggs and I know on the shopping list it says if you can't find that the next best choice is "organic" eggs. However, I'm reading that "pastured" eggs provide more nutrients. I have yet to find both pastured + organic eggs but I do find eggs that are either just "pastured" or just "organic." Should I choose that pastured over the organic first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I would choose pastured over organic. Chances are good that someone who cares enough to pasture their chickens would select reasonably good feed to supplement--the farmer just might not have invested the money to get certified as organic. Organic just means they buy organic feed, but the chickens might not have any access to the outdoors or forage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriRodriguez56 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Thank you so much!!! I had a feeling that pastured would have been best. Already bought two cartons of organic eggs but will switch to pastured after they are done. Thanks again for such a quick reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Also beware of PASTURIZED eggs. I think the egg companies try to trick us with this label. These eggs have been processed to kill salmonella but it has nothing to do with how the chickens are raised or fed. I can only get pastured eggs in one grocery store in the city I live in and they are between $6.50 - $8.50 a dozen. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
