I too had macular degeneration and Then retina detachment i. My right eye 5 years ago and my brother too. One year ago and my dad when he was 70 ( I am 57). All this happened because insulin resistance and glycation. Due to bad nutrition..
I know a lot of people think I’m nuts when I tell them all the eggs and meat I use are Organic, pasture raised, locally operated and grass fed. I really feel it’s the little things that make the difference with our health and there are a lot of benefits to it in the long run.
I have also noticed that real pasture raised eggs usually have a much stronger shell, (minerals) and the membrane (connective tissue,/collagen)is much stronger.
This can vary depending on access to calcium for plants and available calcium in feed. In fact you should always feed chickens extra calcium or they can become compromised, seriously so as they use up their own calcium to lay eggs. Some pasture/soil is also poor so supplements are needed or soil additives. The eggs still taste nice when fed calcium supplements. I like a hard shell, they don't crack as easily when boiled and peel easier after boiling. Peeling soft shelled eggs is a pain.
I raised chickens an to let you know. When the egg shells get thin you can by crushed shells in the feed store. Feeding this to the chickens will make the eggs shells thick again along with the membrane.
Finally, someone who shares the same passion as I do about pasture raise eggs! While traveling in Japan, every single egg was deep yellow/orange and creamy! After my trip, I made sure that I picked up pasture raise eggs. My local Trader Joe’s carry them! Thanks, Dr. B!
@@youtubeyo142 They're directly descended from Compsognathus, who was a scavenger. Makes sense thus a chicken will basically eat anything, even itself, lol.
I get a tray off fresh farm eggs, free range, once a month at the farmers market, Orange yolks, sometimes double yolkers. 🤗 Tip. Don't wash the bloom off fresh eggs, they'll keep for much longer, & it stops bacteria getting in them. 🥚🍳🥚 Thanks for sharing this important information with us all, & take care of yourself to. ❤🙂🐶
@@blueseptember2174 yes. We used to have chickens and sometimes their chicken poop would get on the eggs, but when you think about where the eggs come from.... we always washed our eggs and put them in cartons from the store. People were always giving us egg cartons. It was great. And then we'd turn around and give them eggs. Win win. But my husband went crazy and we ended up with 24 Birds. Way way too many. 😬
Yes, definitely wash before you cook them. This is what the farmer told me, wash them in warm water when your about to cook them because cold water can push bacteria in. Sorry I didn't explain very well before. 🤗 As Eggs are porous, I don't refrigerate, because they can take on smells, like left over curry or garlic & such. Unless your very lucky & have a specific egg fridge, because they will last longer when refrigerated. I'm in UK, so maybe different rules to where you both are. Hope that made sense. Take care. ❤🙂🐶
It’s true about the color. The first time I cracked open one of our girls’ eggs, I was a little weirded out by the almost red yolks. I was afraid something was wrong, so I called a friend with more experience. Foraging and eating grass really is good for them, and their good health shows in the deep color of their egg yolks. When we had to buy eggs, the butter-yellow yolks made me sad, thinking of the chickens.
Just got chickens this year. Compare our eggs to the pasture raised eggs from Costco, and our eggs are always darker orange. The yolk color is not always the same color. Probably depends on what they found to eat.
I tried looking for the answer to this question 3 years ago and I literally couldn't find anything on the internet that would answer it. Of course Dr Burg is going to give me the answers that I need for such a random question. All I am trying to say is thank you Dr Berg!
Wow -- what a timely video! My family and I were just talking about this. I bought a different brand of eggs recently that are locally sourced and when I cracked them open, we were all amazed how orange the yolks were! We typically purchase organic eggs, but the yolks are still the same yellow color, so we didn't know they could be orange. It really was a difference and everyone wants the richer looking, orange yolk eggs now!
We raised a few hens that run free in the grass and that's the first thing I noticed. The yolks are a bright orange rather than a pale yellow like store bought eggs. And they seem more dense and filling than the store bought variety.
Aldi has them! Not even that much more expensive. Considering the benefits. They are so dark orange! So different from all the typical eggs sold everywhere. They are even darker than my neighbor's chickens eggs.
For comparison purposes, we bought 3 different types of eggs, large size to be precise. Regular white, organic brown free range grain fed and organic brown free range grass fed. The white and organic brown (grain fed) had a very similar texture when fried sunny side up. The yolk also shared the same light yellow color. The organic brown grass fed had a very thick texture, and the yolk was noticeably darker compared next to the other two. I would usually serve my self 4 organic grain fed eggs, but with the grass fed, I felt satisfied with just two, since the eggs when fried are so dense. Thats my 2 cents in this matter.
Just bought eggs yesterday & was talking about the difference between pastured raised organic eggs with my Husband who doesn't care where the eggs comes from verses the cost. Of course I didn't care about the Cost because told my Husband it's the Health benefit you get from the better quality of the pastured raised eggs. Thank you Dr. ! God Bless!
Dr. B the deep orange is what my family in Italy has. When I was there, they were SO delish. Currently from what ì can afford, we buy pasture raised from our grocery store, it's not trader joes nor wholefoods. We are so hoping Costco starts selling these egges, we would get so much for our money. I also hope they start selling more that just grass fed organic hamburger. Currently for fresh meat they only have the ground beef, would be lovely to find their other fresh meat grass fed. Ty for sharing this. Your AWESOME!!
My mother has 4 hens, two of each race. Two are normal sized and two are mini hens, the mini eggs are always a bit more yellow, even though all of them are free range and eat the same organic grains and seeds, insects and vegetation. Interesting 🤔
Thank you Dr Berg for sharing, the benefits of pasture raised so beneficial, something I never knew until I started watching your videos your educational program is wonderful
Just so you know, this is WAYYYYY over generalized. Speaking as someone who has raised some chickens, if you have a ‘factory raised’ chicken and feed it lots of corn, for example, it’s yolks can be nice and orange. Outdoor chickens who get lots of wheat in their diet can have light yolks. You cannot always know. The best is to know your farmer:)
We are blessed to live where we can raise chickens, let them free range, and they give us the best eggs, deep orange yolks and the whites don't run all over the pan. I bought some eggs while waiting for these chicks to grow up. I had forgotten how pale, and anemic the store bought eggs were. Go for organic, it's worth the cost. Good video!!
Thank you! Wonderful video explaining the different colored eggs. I showed this to my 8 year as we are breakfast and had eggs with orange yolks for the first time. :)
Im from Belarus, and when I live with my mom, she always got the eggs from my grandma from the village. I never knew the difference, but only when I moved to the capital to get my degree, I bought few eggs from the supermarket and I made an omelette. I remember calling my mom and asking her why is my omelette has different taste, and then I knew why .... )))
When I have traveled to Japan I have noticed that ALL of their eggs are this bright orange. Nice to know its because they are loaded with more good things.
I buy my eggs from my neighbor who raises them on her backyard farm free range along with the goats. She has very healthy chickens, only feeds them the best, most nutritious foods including the eggshells which are loaded with vitamins. Those yokes come in very orange and sometimes yellow. The shells will be brown, white, green and sometimes spotted. In the spring the yokes are always the most orange and the whites more firm. That's because they've been building up nutrition over the winter.
FYI....there are a lot of people that add paprika to the feed, SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of turning the yolks orange! know the feeding practices of your egg source!
yep, after coming to Japan the coworkers and I was talking about how freaking orange the eggs were. The milk taste different (better/real). You do taste the difference in quality in things. One thing I'm gonna miss about leaving. REAL food, that for the most part isn't hidden behind false labels. Just food. period.
totally agree. I've in Japan for over 10 years in the past and the eggs are always orange and delicious. Milk is much thicker too, but closer to milk's consistency.
I just moved to Hungary and noticed they sold extra yolk eggs advertised with pictures of cut-half extra-deep-orange-yolks eggs. I was sold by it and tried, geez so creamy and indeed delicious!
Thank you so much for addressing this! Some of the claimed organic farm/Amish raised eggs are poor quality. Not only do they have pale yolks but also thin shells......Not a good sign! It takes a lot of energy from a hen to produce a shell. I'm realizing it's worth the money to buy from Vital Farms.
My grandmother was a farmer. She had free range chickens. Their eggs were really deep orange. I don’t care what so called experts say, if it’s pale it’s not good
When I was kid we had chickens in our backyard. Back then I noticed our home grown eggs had a darker yoke than the store bought. We fed them laying mash we got from the feed store.
I raise chickens and their colour changes from week to week especially dark when they eat berries. I have seasonally pale yolks too. I think the colour comes from berries and leaves that are red more than the non vegetarian feed like bugs and mice they catch. They have a nice rich color in winter as well when they eat mostly grain feed from the supplier. I wouldn't read too much into the yolks. The shell and whites are visibly stronger though if you are unsure of the quality.
I raised chicken in my 1/2 acre backyard years ago. The yolks of true pasture raised hens are so much more orange and delicious. When you buy eggs that say 'cage free' that means they are only living a marginally better life than caged hens.
Got loads of knowledge from Dr Berg/you tube channel.. changed my diet as well… switched to Pasture raised eggs, Organic milk, sprouted/sourdough whole grain breads, organic fruits and veggies, changed cooking style to reap the full benefits of nutrients, got rid of risky vegetable oils and so on…. No words to explain my thanks…. Its like a new world for me.
Thanks for the information. I was just getting ready to throw out my pasture raised eggs, because I had never seen orange yolk and thought something was wrong with the eggs.
0:16 it was not true, organic (super eco natural) can be yellow. it is depends of season (for ex winter)!!! so from factory farm usually are orange, because they give them special food what make it orange !!!
I'm learning so much valuable information from your channel! Cage-free doesn't mean they are free range, just that they're outside of their cages🤔!! I'm not a big egg eater, but great to know! Thanks!
I also believed that the deep orange was free range, however I spoke to a poultry expert at a conference and he said that the colour of the yolk depended on what the hens ate. Therefore it is possible that battery hens could still produce orange yolked eggs. On a different subject, when I lived in Russia, the eggs had a colour approaching green. Yuk!
I'm eating very fresh pasture-raised eggs from a small local hobbyist producer that produces maybe 3 dozen eggs a day. The yolks are very pale yellow and the shells are thin. They're delicious. Much better than the store-bought "pasture-raised" eggs from 3 states away.
I finally found an organic pasture raised brand with that orange color! I have always bought organic pasture raised but they were always yellow. Now that I know I’m sticking with this brand
Well the real question becomes: how do you tell the difference between an authentic dark orange yoke eggs and ones that are factory bred with artificial coloring added to also look dark orange?
The best way is to buy eggs from a farm that is in your area. And if you don't have one, then look for eggs that say "Pasture Raised" and Organic in the grocery store.
@@exploringscientia8877 Commercial farmers these days use synthetic pigments and additives to feed their hens to control the color of their egg's yoke to deceive consumers into believing that the eggs come from healthier chickens. So you can no longer base a healthy egg off of its yoke color anymore. Best thing you can do is believe the labeling of pasture raised.
I grew up on a small, family farm in Vermont. Our chickens (Rhode Island Reds) roamed freely, and they got a lot of the veggie scraps from the kitchen. Dark orange yolks that were flavorful and almost sweet. We fed the shells back to them, so their eggshells were HARD. When I’ve had to buy store bought eggs (mass produced), they literally made me sick. Light yellow yolks. I couldn’t eat them. I still live in vermont and I’ve cultivated relationships with different farmers over the years so I could get free range eggs. I can always pick out the farm fresh eggs from even the store bought “pasteured” eggs. No comparison.
You are right about the possibility of healthy pasture raised chickens producing yellow yolks -- it is dependent on the nature of what the chickens find to eat in the pasture. A good way to assess the egg's quality, in addition to what you mention, is the profile of the yolk -- it should not be flat and sloppy, but strong and how would we say .. elevated. And not prone to breaking. Thanks for your great videos.
Hey Dr. B My mother-in-law has a few pasture raised chickens. I’m thinking I might start my own little farm. To go with my new vegetable garden. Appreciate content Doc. Sorry a little late to class 🤙🏾🤣☝🏾🌟🌟🌟🔥🔥🔥
@@Drberg your youtube clips/video presentations on eggs and protein has helped me alot. Six months ago I was diagnosed with low testosterone.

Your videos are direct and to the point. You helping lots of people 🙂 you are a medical healer. 🙏
This is great to know! After getting the organic pasture raised eggs i can tell the difference in quality and it feels like a much better, sturdier product if that makes sense haha!!! Never going back!!
when I traveled to Portugal last year I was sooo impressed at the quality and color of the eggs...even the cheap regular supermarket eggs had this reallly strong orange color to them. Cost like 70 cents a dozen...impressive!

My cousin has chicken's that run around the yard all day. Doesn't feed them anything, so they forage for their own food. The yokes are yellow.
Also, the whites of the eggs tend to be more watery from factory hens. "If the chickens get to run, the egg whites will not."

I grew up on a small, family farm in Vermont. Our chickens (Rhode Island Reds) roamed freely, and they got a lot of the veggie scraps from the kitchen. Dark orange yolks that were flavorful and almost sweet. We fed the shells back to them, so their eggshells were HARD. When I’ve had to buy store bought eggs (mass produced), they literally made me sick. Light yellow yolks. I couldn’t eat them. I still live in vermont and I’ve cultivated relationships with different farmers over the years so I could get free range eggs. I can always pick out the farm fresh eggs from even the store bought “pasteured” eggs. No comparison.
Awesome...just was wondering about that this past week. Thanks, Dr Berg!
You're king of the UA-cam health influencers

I give away my free range eggs so that store buying egg folks can see and experience the difference.
Thanks, Doc.
You are so welcome!
Most of the pasture raised eggs I bought are still light yellow :/ . Local farm eggs are the deeper in color
You are right about the possibility of healthy pasture raised chickens producing yellow yolks -- it is dependent on the nature of what the chickens find to eat in the pasture. A good way to assess the egg's quality, in addition to what you mention, is the profile of the yolk -- it should not be flat and sloppy, but strong and how would we say .. elevated. And not prone to breaking. Thanks for your great videos.
Awesome soo thank you, makes sense. I live in NYC and try to eat healthy is tough.
Hey Dr. B My mother-in-law has a few pasture raised chickens. I’m thinking I might start my own little farm. To go with my new vegetable garden. Appreciate content Doc. Sorry a little late to class 🤙🏾🤣☝🏾🌟🌟🌟🔥🔥🔥
When the yolk is orange I thought the egg is rotten or starting to rot 😅😅 thx for the info Dr.Berg.
Very good to know! I cannot thank you enough sir
I thought the darker ones were bad thanks for clarifying
Thanks soooooo much Dr.berg great 👍 video 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Thanks alot for this info
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
@@Drberg your youtube clips/video presentations on eggs and protein has helped me alot. Six months ago I was diagnosed with low testosterone. Instead of going on to testosterone therapy since I am 50 years, I have opted to try a change in diet as in a high protein diet. Last Monday we did blood work to check how is the progress and I was happy to know all is well again and my free testosterone amount was in the middle of the range for my age. Just a change in diet, "walking"on the treadmill ,after watching your video on the #1 exercise to loose belly fat, has made such a significant change within me. Your videos are direct and to the point. You helping lots of people 🙂 you are a medical healer. 🙏
These last 2 videos have been eggscelent 👍👍
Wow. Thank you. Had absolutely no idea about this!
This is great to know! After getting the organic pasture raised eggs i can tell the difference in quality and it feels like a much better, sturdier product if that makes sense haha!!! Never going back!!
Pasture raised is an interesting use....
when I traveled to Portugal last year I was sooo impressed at the quality and color of the eggs...even the cheap regular supermarket eggs had this reallly strong orange color to them. Cost like 70 cents a dozen...impressive!
Anthony I would love to retire there one day
Great Doctor 👍🏻👍🏻😊
