According to data from the Central Statistical Office, in 2020, Poles consumed 157 pieces of eggs per year. Many people find it difficult to imagine a daily diet, especially without eggs. Although they accompany us every day, not all of us are able to recognize the healthiest and most valuable ones.
Which yolk is the healthiest? Color matters
chicken is considered one of the healthiest products. They contain unsaturated fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6 acids, protein, vitamin D, A and B vitamins, including B12, folic acid, lutein, and, above all, relatively few calories and carbohydrates. They can be eaten as stand-alone fried or boiled dishes, but also as an addition and ingredient to other dishes.
Egg yolks are full of valuable microelements, but can you tell which yolk is the healthiest? Its color depends on both the hen and its health condition. The color of the yolk may vary. Some are light, others are even pale yellow, orange or dark yellow and dark orange. Which one is healthier?
The dark-colored yolk is the most valuable in terms of nutrients. Such eggs contain, among others: more omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins. The light color of the yolk is a sign that the hen was fed primarily with corn and wheat. The eggs she lays will therefore contain fewer ingredients. Those laid by young laying hens and older hens also contain fewer ingredients.
What eggs should I buy? Pay attention to the markings
Apart from the color of the yolk, which is visible only after breaking or boiling the egg, it is worth paying attention to certain details when purchasing it. Which eggs should you choose? The healthiest ones are those from green-legged chanterelles, i.e. those from organic farming. How to tell them apart? Such eggs are marked with a stamp with the initial symbol 0. A good choice will also be those marked with the number 1, i.e. coming from free-range hens.
