Store Eggs vs. Farm Raised Eggs
For those of you who can eat eggs, and have never tried cage free eggs, this is a must read! We went to Wallace Farms to pick up some grass-fed brisket. My hubby loves using his grandfather’s Texas recipe for making brisket in our smoker. They had a cooler with some cage free eggs. I have heard from so many people that farm raised eggs are so much better than grocery store eggs. I thought I give would a carton a try, and see what all the fuss was about. Here is the sign that was on the cooler door.
I loved the varying colors, and speckles on the eggs.
So we decided to just take a store-bought egg and a Wallace Farms egg and scrambled them for a taste test. I added 1 tsp of milk, scrambled it up, put it in a coffee cup, and nuked it for 1 minute in the microwave. Immediatedly, the first thing I noticed was the yellow color of the cooked Wallace Farm’s egg versus the store-bought egg. It looked smoother and much more yellow.
So I tried a bite of each one, and it really did taste so much better! I was happily surprised. Not only was the consistency of the egg better, but the taste was so good! I am looking forward to trying them in recipes! I bet it would make the finished product taste much better too. I’m sold and will probably never buy store-bought eggs again. Not only do they seem healthier, but they just taste so much better. I had to share this discovery with all of you.
