Best Answer

The chickens feed includes about 10% flax seed, which contains the 'ALA' type of Omega-3 fatty acid. Unfortunately, you really need the 'DHA' type of Omega-3 to get most the reported heath benefit. DHA is found in fish and algea, but not plants. So you really will not get most of real health benefits from most of the eggs sold as high Omega-3. It would be better if the chickens were fed fish meal, or the right type of algae.

What are the types of grocier eggs?

Types of Eggs: Omega Eggs are high in beneficial omega 3 fatty acids and contain less saturated fat than conventional eggs. These eggs are produced by hens fed a patented diet that includes flax seed, algae, vegetables high in omega 3 fats, insects, lots of fresh green grass, fresh and dried fruit, and small amounts of corn. They contain 350 milligrams of omega 3 fatty acids compared with 60 milligrams in regular eggs. They are also slightly lower in cholesterol (by 35mg.) Omega 3 fatty acids increase the ratio of good (HDL) to bad (LDL) cholesterol in blood and decrease occurrence of blood clots and arrhythmias, research indicates. Omega-3 fatty acids are an essential component of the human diet and are needed for brain growth and development. They may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of heart disease, high blood pressure, inflammation, mental health disorders, diabetes, digestive disorders and autoimmune diseases. "Two Omega Eggs provide the same amount of Omega 3 fatty acids as a 3-ounce serving of salmon," says the developer of the diet, Sheila Scheideler. Vitamin-Enhanced Eggs- These eggs contain slightly higher amounts of Vitamin E, folate, lutein, Vitamin B-6, and Vitamin B-12, which are added to their growing diet. Free-range eggs are those from hens who have access to nesting boxes, open floor space, perches and outdoor runs. The eggs from free-range hens contain significantly more folic acid and vitamin B12 and they may have a healthier omega fatty acid ratio than supermarket eggs. Free run or Cage-free eggs are from hens allowed to roam freely in an enclosed facility. Producers undergo more work because egg safety and quality is more challenging to manage since eggs can come in contact with droppings, dirt, and can be laid in many places making quick egg collection a challenge.
