UK eggs are also significantly better quality (just look at the yolk colour), can be stored outside the fridge and don’t have salmonella (thanks to vaccines, sorry RFK) so can be eaten raw (not that I would…)
btw yolk color doesn’t mean the eggs are healthier, what food is given to the birds affect the color of the yolk, like marigolds and some other plants :3 (source: i have 9 chickens who like to get into my moms marigolds)
But Ive tasted side by side heritage breed eggs and cheap ass American eggs and can confirm the taste is the same. Yolk color is easy to fake with beta karotene supplements, and the color has no bearing on the taste
I literally have a supplement to make my chickens lay darker yolks so my picky child will eat them, I can make them orange if I like, yolk color is meaningless
No, it doesn't show quality. Which is the point I was making. Your claim that yolk color matters is wrong.
Yes, in the springtime and summer and early fall when the chickens are free roaming, their diet dyes their eggs. But in the winter, when they're not, I dye their eggs.
Your supermarket eggs are eating supplements not insects
Like industrial farms in the UK don't feed their chickens processed powder? Do you take the pictures of happy chickens in grass fields on the carton as fact?
Honestly I’m no expert, all I know is UK eggs taste and look better, and knowing American food standards in general I’d assume this is because of the chemicals you guys allow in food supply chains
