There are a lot of choices in the egg department. Which taste best...


Do you pay more for premium eggs? Save your money. 

Consumer Reports put several cartons to the test including white, brown, organic, free range and vegetarian fed. They served them all scrambled and the results found little or no difference between variety and price. They did, however, find one noticeable difference. Older eggs had a slight spinach or hay like taste. 

The best carton of eggs to choose is the one with the most recent “placed in carton” date. This is a three digit number on the end of the carton which represents the day of the year, out of 365. For example, if they were packaged on January 1st that code would be 001. December 31st eggs would be marked as 365.
