Reminds me of Petro Dobromylskyj's breakfasts, circa 2013:Tincup wrote:Gundry would likely say to get the eggs, throw away the whites and eat the yolk.
Sounds yummy, and my, what a creative use of egg whites!Breakfast is always the same. I melt about 100g of butter in a frying pan. I crack 11 eggs yolks in to this (I fry the whites later for the chickens!) and fry them until they hold their shape. I then pour 8 yolks for myself and Hazel, with all of the free butter, in to a bowl and mash them with a fork before stirring the mix in to an "egg soup". Hazel has a dollop, I have the rest. We like it quite solid. I finish any Hazel doesn't want, hopefully I get six yolks worth. Daniel likes his yolks just fried, he has the other three.
I actually think omega-3 eggs really are all about the same. The supplement differences - fish oil, flaxseed, or both - seem to me to pale in comparison to the difference between traditional omnivorous pasture foraging and standard "cage-free" confined animal feeding operations.mike wrote:Not all Omega 3 eggs are the same.
Even within a pastured-only brand like Vital Farms I have found that quality rises as diet control diminishes. On multiple occasions I have cracked Alfresco, Non-GMO, and Organic eggs in a bowl together, and the difference is obvious - the Alfresco eggs are dark orange, the Non-GMO eggs are light orange, and the organic eggs are about the same or even sometimes a bit lighter. The Alfresco eggs taste better to me than the other two types.
From parsing the product descriptions on the website, I infer that the Alfresco hens forage year round ("every day") and consume only "supplemental" feed. The Non-GMO hens forage "from morning till night" (but not "every day") and receive "Non-GMO Project Verified feed" (perhaps as a primary rather than supplemental source?). And the Organic hens forage too (but not "every day" or "from morning till night") and "receive a carefully formulated feed".
For omega-3 (and DHA) nutritional content, I'm betting on the pastured chickens whose eggs taste the best and whose rich orange color indicates a diet heavy in fresh grass and insects:
