If you’ve ever wondered about what those new organic-y sounding descriptors are for eggs, you’ve come to the right place. I’m always forgetting the nuances and decided to finally write this to remind myself. This is a handy summary of the types of chicken eggs that you can buy at your local grocery store or farmer’s market:
Pastured:
- Chickens are kept outdoors (I’m not sure if this includes at night, when they’d be very susceptible to predators),
- Eat grass and bugs (not a vegetarian diet, which is not natural for chickens).
