Understanding Egg Yolk Color: What It Reveals About Hen Diet
Egg yolk color can reveal a lot about the diet and health of the hen that laid it. Organic Valley explains that hens with a diet rich in diverse, natural foods like greens, insects, and organic grains produce eggs with deep, vibrant yolks. The brighter yolk color indicates higher nutritional quality, including increased levels of vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids. While yolk color can vary, it’s a clear reflection of the hen’s diet and overall egg quality.
