Free-range eggs are more nutritious than caged eggs because they come from birds fed primarily grain and some insects. However, they are less nutritious than pasture-raised eggs.
Free-range and factory farming
A more varied diet, such as one with free-range chicken, contains higher amounts of vitamin A, which is important for bone and eye health; vitamin E, which supports circulation and prevents oxidation; and omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
What's more, free-range eggs contain less saturated fat and cholesterol than factory-farmed eggs, making them better in almost every respect—except perhaps price. But it's worth the money, right?
