Deep orange/red egg yolks do taste better than yellow yolks.
>>
>>22016954
Yes.
>>
>>22016954
it's not about reddit, it's about facts and facts tells us that the only reason the yolk colour changes is because of the carotenoid compounds in chicken feed.
>>
>>22016958
Apparently this "fact" is fake and psychosomatic, but I have had both back and forth and I can immediately tell the difference. I really doubt that it's a myth like they say it is.
>>
>>22016954
Well yeah, your brain is the thing that decides how things taste, and it thinks that orange yolks taste better, so they do.
>>
>>22016954
nobody has ever disputed this

>>22016968
i cooked eggs from my uncle's chickens for my stepmom without her knowing they werent normal storebought eggs and she was freaking out because of how different they tasted. it's not just the brain
>>
>>22016974
An egg from a free range yard bird is obviously going to taste better than an egg from a battery farm. The issue is that you can just feed factory hens a bunch of shredded carrots and red lentils and their eggs will look all nice and orange but still taste like shit.

I started putting cayenne pepper in my chicken's feed to keep squirrels away and noticed not long after that the yolks were significantly darker and more red. idk. Chickens that can actually free range probably do have tastier eggs than industrial eggs, but there are ways to manipulate the color.
>>22016983
I always heard they used sunflower extract to make them more golden and without that they'd be a lot more pale.

why do white Walmart egg yolks look so fucking gross

I swear that store only sells shit
>>
>>22016954
I have a flock of 1k hens and sell all the eggs they produce. Lots at farmers market. I always tell people that most deep red eggs are a lie because they add foods that darken the yolks while only following the legal minimum for pasture raised birds. We keep our hens on fresh grass using a rotational pasture system and we get nice deep golden yolks without adding anything to our food. The way it should be. People love our eggs. :D

Why is this though? Higher fat content?

My chickens lay paler eggs and they taste better than the oranger eggs desu

Also just cause im an American I guess I have an expectation of what an egg should look like and its just not that blood orange look
>>
>>22017145
A strong yellow/orange color usually means the chicken has been grassfed, not grainfed. You can expect a better taste from grassfed chicken.
The color come from caroten naturally present in the grass.
It's exactly like how grassfed cows give a darker and tastier butter.
>>
A poultry farm that pays attention to even the color enhancement of egg yolks is likely to be meticulous in other aspects as well.
>>

or is trying to deceive you

grass makes meat and milk taste worse. you are a schizo. grass fed animal products are objectively inferior.

Ok, goyslop eater

>My chickens lay paler eggs and they taste better than the oranger eggs
Cope.

Americans do not have good tasting produce and those of us that have been outside of America know this.

Even our beef is bland and tasteless compared to other countries, take hotdogs for example. In America we cover the sausage with lots of sauces because the sausage itself is bland but in say Germany or Britain they just use sauerkraut or onions and maybe mustard.

This anon is correct >>22017519 Although 'free-range' is a bit dodgy the farmers overseas don't try to fake their egg color, it is what it is.
>>
>>22017548
Nah. Grain-fed animal products are bland because the animals are sicker and have lower nutrient levels because it's not what they're meant to be eating. Some people might feel overwhelmed trying grass-fed/pastured products at first because of that, you can taste that grass-fed beef has a higher mineral content for example.

But there's something wrong with the way grain-fed fat tastes. I don't notice it as much with milk but grain-fed eggs taste funkier and more sulfurous even when cooked properly, and grain-fed beef fat tastes almost rancid. There's a clean taste to grass-fed/pastured products even if the higher nutrient levels can make it taste stronger at first.

man they put ketchup and curry powder on sausages in germany, and there are people eating hot dogs with just sauerkraut/mustard/onions in the usa
>>
>>22017584
Nice try but you know I'm right.

you're right except when you're wrong, and that makes you special

every couple of weeks we have this thread.

egg producers in every country (and even in local regions) carefully control the diet of their chickens in order to get the color of eggs that the locals expect. they do this by adding or limiting the amount of beta carotene in the chicken feed. THAT'S IT THAT'S ALL!

In some countries they expect blood red eggs, in other countries everyone thinks a yellow or orange egg is a sign of icky chemicals and won't eat them so they make egg yolks that are white.

here in the US people expect yellow to orange and that's what they get.

>In America we cover the sausage with lots of sauces because the sausage itself is bland
do you have covid or something? the blandest hot dogs I ever had were german made. Nathan's, hebrew national, and several store brands I have tried are not bland.

my favorite way to eat hot dogs is plain so I can taste the hot dog, and not the sauces.

no

IT'S NOT THE COLOR THAT GIVES IT FLAVOR
do I need to draw you a picture so you're mongoloid brain understands?

They do taste slightly better but cheap eggs are coo when you don't have cash.

in case you are too lazy to read it, I will summarize.

if your eggs don't taste good it is because you are over cooking them since almost all the "bad" flavor compounds are formed at higher temperatures. doesn't matter where the eggs came from.

I know how to cook eggs and that's why I emphasized that there is a taste difference even when cooked properly
>>
>>22017919
Not the color itself but it's a sign
>>
Local/cared for hens, lay eggs that go from cloaca directly to you. No processing. No logistics. No potential chemicals that clean eggs or preserve shelf life. These butt-fresh eggs come from chickens that, generally, are in much good health compared to mass produced.
This is why the quality is better. The yolk color is not determines flavor. It's just that local/cared for hens have variety in the diet that darkens the yolk.
>>
>>22016954
Correct. You want pasture raised organic brown eggs. The best tasting little mother fuckers out there.

Also, free range is not the same as pasture raised. Free range just means they are not in cages, but they are still all jam packed close together. Very bad for the chickens and egg quality

Who are you trying to fool?

No it doesn't, you really should not be commenting if you don't know what you are talking about.
>>
>>22018076
Shell color also doesn't effect taste
>>
>>22018105
truth hurts you only put things on sausages and hot dogs because they taste bad or have no taste.
>>
>>22016960
Some companies cheat but not all of them. Pic related is legit, also Aldi's pasture raised eggs.
>>
>>22018220
it can also be washed off.
>>
>>22018240
that is not aldi. kroger and safeway carry that brand as well.
>>
>>22018247
Work on your reading comprehension, anon. I said that brand as well as Aldi's brand.
>>
>>22018065
i have relatives that live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. they have their own farm and primarily eat what they raise/grow. they have hens. they take care of these hens. these hens lay eggs. guess what color the yolks are? bright yellow, like the left egg in OP's picture. yolk color has literally nothing to do with egg quality. it's like how salmon that isn't pink isn't necessarily worse than salmon that is pink. chickens that are fed orange things will have orange eggs. simple as.
>>
>>22018249
you need to comprehend your own post. it reads that it is also aldi's brand.
>>
>>22018252
I mean the yolk on the left is not even that yellow. Cheap Walmart eggs' yolks are so pale you can barely tell them apart from the white.
>>
>>22018255
I suppose it could be interpreted that way if you were retarded.
>>
>>22016954
Reddit scientists also genuinely believe that manned space flight is possible. Why take anything they say as serious?
>>
>>22018228
>truth hurts you only put things on sausages and hot dogs because they taste bad or have no taste.
Exactly.
That's why an American hotdog has a whole deli counter emptied on to it.
>>
>>22018265
Agreed
Zoomie reading comprehension strikes again, your post was fine
>>
>>22018258
really? i usually get whatever's cheapest at my local supermarket and have never really seen anything more yellow than what was in OP's image. the real question is, do they taste worse than regular eggs?
>>
>>22017572
>In America we cover the sausage with lots of sauces
That's because it's a cheap shitty style. A h
>but in say Germany or Britain they just use sauerkraut or onions and maybe mustard.
That's because we don't really eat "hot dogs". That's just not what a sausage is to us and our hot dogs are just as shit as yours. A "proper" sausage will be flavoured with herbs and spices.
>>
>>22016954
Schizo
>>
>>22018240
I dont have anything against vital farms but want to say personally happy egg is better in my experience.
>>
>>22018252
I literally said yolk color doesn't determine flavor/quality anon. It is more likely local hens have better a variety of food that can dark the yolk, and local eggs taste better, but they both are unrelated. So, this makes people think, the eggs taste better. Maybe I can't be enough clear in english.
