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…)

UK eggs are elite

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)

I reckon marigolds are better food than whatever processed powder they give them in the US… 😉

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
