You don’t always know what eggs to buy at the mart, right?? Don’t look at things like pasture or grade 1, I’ll tell you what you really need to look for

 

 

When you open the egg carton lid, here is the last number of the pink eggshell written on the shell. Let’s just look at this one. This shows the breeding environment.

1. Free-range – They live in a relatively large pen and can come in after playing outside. They can take a dirt bath, get some sun, go for a walk, and look for food outside.

2. barn flat – indoors

3. improved cage – confined in a cage – (area slightly larger than 1 sheet of A4)

4.  existing cage – confined in a very narrow cage (area smaller than 1 sheet of A4)

In other words, eggs 3 and 4 are laid by chickens that cannot move properly in narrow cages.

They are not able to move normally, are stressed, and have low immunity, so they are vulnerable to diseases and need antibiotics. They also cannot take a mud bath, so there is a high possibility that pesticides will be used because mites cannot be treated.

If you are looking for really good eggs, it is better to find a farm that transparently discloses information about the breeding environment and feed, as eggs with expressions such as “Grade 1,” “Antibiotic-free,” “Pasture,” and “Animal Welfare” are not necessarily good.

However, since supermarket eggs often do not have an eggshell number on the packaging cover and are only printed on the eggshell, it is a huge obstacle that I cannot commit the atrocity of having to take off the packaging cover,

open the paper lid, check, and then put the cover back on. ㅜㅜ Please take some pictures outside too!!!
