I was at the Mariano's in Chicago, and was over the moon to discover these gorgeous blue and brown heritage eggs. We love eggs at MindfulEats, and these are exceptional. It's not the hens that are exceptional, but the way the hens are treated. You can tell a high-quality, well-raised quality egg from its deep colored yolk and heavier weight. When you crack them open, the yolks "stand up" high if they are fresh. Eggs provide the highest-quality protein, and when they are from healthy hens they are actually more nutritious and delicious! Learn all about eggs and their benefits. Look at these beauties from the Happy Egg Co:
Check out this beautiful colored and striated shell of this Copper Maran egg!
And this yolk! Free-range hens that are healthy and able to move about and grub naturally will have more nutritious, orangey yolks. At MindfulEats we aren't looking for greater technology in our food -- we want natural, old ways of growing our food with plenty of time, space, nutrients, and happy animals. Yum, these eggs are delicious!
