Pasture-raised eggs come from hens that are allowed to roam freely outdoors on pasture, providing them with a natural environment to forage for insects and plants. This method of farming promotes animal welfare, as the hens have more space and access to sunlight compared to those raised in conventional systems. The diet of pasture-raised hens typically includes a mix of grains, seeds, and the natural forage they find outside. As a result, pasture-raised eggs often have a richer flavor and higher nutritional value, including more omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins compared to eggs from caged or barn-raised hens.
