About Cage-free eggs

Cage-free eggs are laid by hens that roam freely within indoor spaces rather than being confined to cages, promoting improved animal welfare. Nutritionally, they are an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential vitamins such as B12 and D, and minerals like selenium and choline, which support brain health and metabolism. They boast healthy fats while containing minimal saturated fat, making them a versatile and nutrient-rich ingredient. Cage-free eggs are widely used in various cuisines, featuring prominently in dishes like American breakfasts, French quiches, and Asian stir-fries. Despite their nutritional benefits, moderation is key due to cholesterol levels, especially for individuals managing heart health. Opting for cage-free eggs ensures strong advocacy for ethical farming practices while offering a wholesome addition to your diet when paired with other nutrient-dense foods.
