We have been eating Organic Eggs for quite awhile. Eggs are a good source of protein for toddlers if they are not allergic to them. Fats and cholesterol do not need to be restricted before the age of 2 so they are a good choice and easy for busy Moms to prepare.
A few months ago I came across some important information from the Cornucopia Institute. They are "in support of ecologically produced local, organic and authentic food." They have a rating system for eggs. The Organic eggs I had been buying....did not get a score to my liking.
Needless to say we switched to Vital Farms eggs that we found at Whole Foods. They are actually better!!! The eggs themselves look healthier, the yolk is more vibrant in color. The shell is firmer than our other brand. I am sure they come from happy hens!!! Check out The Cornucopia Institute Organic Egg Scorecard to see how your eggs rate. Or you can raise organic chickens in your backyard and play them classical music so they lay happy healthy eggs!!!
