The nutritional quality of eggs depends on the chickens' diet, with pasture-raised chickens eating bugs and worms producing higher quality eggs than those fed predominantly corn and soy.

“eggs are incredibly nutritious good source of minerals vitamins all kinds of good stuff for humans bioavailable protein but what the chickens eat matters and so when I'm thinking about shopping for eggs I'm thinking about chickens that are predominantly not fed corn and soy chickens that are eating mostly outside bugs worms that kind of stuff truly pasture raised chickens um that's what I'm looking for with egg so you want the highest quality eggs because it matters if the chickens are eating just corn and soy if they're inside the quality of the egg is going to be different”
