There are easy methods to know whether the eggs you bought are healthy or not and whether the chicken was fed properly or not.
[junkie-alert style=”green”] To know how vitamin enriched and beneficial your egg is you should note the yolk colour, the brighter the better. [/junkie-alert]
This is nothing new, rather it was discovered 100 years ago that the colour of yolk is determined by carotenoids, the greater the carotenoid the brighter the yolk will be. And carotenoids are an indication of vitamins, which means that if the yolk is brighter it is better for your health.
But it was reported that some farmers are using colours to manipulate consumers. Xanthophyll extracts are being used to make the yolk brighter in order to fool masses. Other farmers are using synthetic colours to make it look brighter, though it has no side effects but is manipulating customers.
