Egglands Best eggs VS. local Ohio farm fresh eggs

- I was bored on Sunday and thought I'd do a little egg comparison for you. I eat eggs all the time for a good cheap protein source for bodybuilding and a friend gave me some eggs from his farm to try. I usually buy Egglands Best because they taste better and are better for you than the regular eggs you can buy just about everywhere. I wondered what the difference was compared to these local eggs I got that were probably just laid yesterday. Here are my findings.
**Edit: I do realize that this might not have been a "fair" comparison". As I said in the video, egglands best has other grades of eggs and these were their cheapest ones that I happened to have in my fridge. I wasn't trying to bash egglands best, I just wanted to see if I could taste a difference, so lets just save the death threats and hate mail shall we? lol. I still eat egglands best.
Thanks for watching!
The darker yolk is important. Eggland's Best feeds a vegetarian diet to their hens. BUT, chickens aren't meant to be vegetarian! They're meant to eat bugs and small critters, etc. along with their grains and greens. The darker yolk of the natural farm egg would indicate a healthier diet. Eggland's Best feeds their hens marigold to make their yolks darker than standard eggs.
Well it indicates a higher level of carotenoids. One farm I go to that has pasture raised and foraging egg laying chickens often has a lightly colored yolk but I know they are still packed with nutrition. Just maybe not as many carotenoids .
@Monkey Magic Cage free isn't much better, but if it's all you can afford then I guess it's better than caged chicken eggs.
@@stopit9280 Isn't cage free more expensive than caged...?
@@Buckeye_4_Life_ Yes.
It's more about what the chicken eats then where it is from. People need to accept chickens are supposed to eat bugs and worms not grain.
I'll take the free range farm eggs from the lady down the road with Rhode Island Red layers....huge beautiful eggs
Oh, he overcooked them. It started out interesting...
I cannot help but laugh at the comments in response to this video! lol You guys are a bunch of Egg Nazis! Darn!This poor ole boy went to a lot of trouble TO COOK THE EGGS AS HE NORMALLY DOES and determine if he can tell any difference between the Eggland and the farm-raised.It that context, it is a valid test and he deserves some credit for his efforts. If he cooked them like you guys say, he may not like either one! Lighten up.I bet if you cook them loose and runny, the comparison will come out the same as in the video.Good job, mister broken egg well-done man!Lets try a beefsteak next.....
Lol IKR?! Let the man do "his comparison" as in his kitchen his methods his cooking style on and on lighten up people!!
Broke the yolks, overcooked the eggs, then used a metal fork on Teflon. NICE.
uh... where exactly did he use the metal fork on the Teflon pan? if you are suggesting when he was eating the eggs... check again... THAT'S A PLATE!
Michael Corleone hahaha
@@itsgenevie I like eggs under done and soft but I love OVERDONE eggs
@@itsgenevie ur right I love Rank ass farts it shows dominance and gets the hoes makes them kno ur fertile
@@mrdebonville Can't blame him for assuming that, considering how badly cooked the eggs are
Farm fresh products are superior. Always buy from a local farm
In most cases but there are some cases that even local farms are nasty and don't do what they are suppose to
Yeah, that’s a blanket statement. Just because they are a “local farm” doesn’t mean they are clean or feeding the chickens well. But yeah, a local farm has the potential to be the best.
Cage free is not what you think. they are still all in a building and never see grass or sun.
That IS what I thought, lol. And they still even have their beaks clipped to reduce pecking. Free Range Organic eggs have to have access to outside, sunlight and bugs etc, but not cage free unfortunately. The farm egg here was fully free range organic.
Pretty much
wow you overcooked the hell out of those eggs.
#1 never add salt and pepper if you are comparing.
#2 NEVER overcook them or you will never taste the difference.
#3 if you use it in Bakery item or if you use them in a custard you will actually taste the difference like crazy
entendre yeah, he did a horrible comparison...
since I started eating organic and stopped with conventional . I stop having acid reflux and heart burn. whenever I eat organic, I feel much lighter in my stomach than when eating conventional.
well known fact, if you salt the egg before its cooked, it messes it up... google it
i live right next to a farm in ohio, and i must agree farm eggs are better than store eggs, i have no reason to buy store eggs either because the EB's cage-free organic and all those cost more, when i can get them for 1.75 a dozen at the farm. but regardless eggs are amazing and taste delicious but brown eggs>white eggs.
perfectly cooked egg! "Over-Hard" is the best, in my opinion!
of course.. the farm chickens have actually seen the sun in their LIFE. been feeding on fresh grass, weeds and insects... and been able to move around.... I only buy organic eggs, and where Im from that means basicially that they have to live on the utopian lush farm. almost.
They both taste like shit because you over cooked them :(
WayneStandsUp
😂 😂😁😀🤢😊🤧
True.
Eggs from a market could even say organic and still be glow yellow. Its shit.
What does organic mean in the USA?
A marketing gimmick mostly
Someone gave me a dozen of her farm's chicken eggs. I washed one and then cracked it open. What a STINK! It brought a whole new meaning to "smells like a rotten egg." The smell multiplied like gremlins. We had to open all the doors. Never trust an egg because it's "fresh". Use the water floating test first. OMG! Also high heat when frying an egg will toughen the protein and you get those brown crispy edges. Good if you like that.
At least I know I'm not the only one doing that
They were admittedly overcooked, since filming and cooking at the same time is a bit difficult, but even so the differences were apparent. Organic, free range and cage free are all better choices.
The video always should be edited carefully.
Back in high school I worked at the local grocery store and one day the egg guy was there to check out there case in the store and I had always wondered why them England's Best cost so much so I asked him why and we're they came from.
With a smile and the most honesty I had ever heard he said this
Them there eggs come from the same chickens as that box as he pointed at the western family brand the only difference is someone picked up this one and put a little red stamp on it ta charge you so much more.
................
P.S. this story is non fiction.
Too bad for me I looked it up and they don't have Western brand eggs here in California because I would sure buy it instead of spending 5$ on some eggs.
I think he just meant basically all eggs are the same except for organic or pasture raised.
No egglands do taste better and different
Eggs are eggs, no difference to me. I’ve had egglands, vital farms, organic, non organic, cheap and expensive, and they’re all the same, and taste the same once they’re cooked.
Did you notice that the farm egg cooked any faster than the eggland's best egg? I did a little experimenting and found that factory eggs tend to cook slower.
I did not. Interesting.
+Moe Friday yes they do cook faster. I do an over easy store bought egg for 3 minutes at my heat setting. The Farm fresh no more than 21/2 minutes....... don't know why this is.
This video should have been organized better and you could have spoken more quickly for a shorter video.
I just ate two fried Eggland's Best eggs, they taste like rubber to me. It's like, I wasn't even eating eggs at all. Chicken were made to be free runner, not confined in man-made prison to be fed what man wants them to eat. There is nothing like a free-range chicken, free outdoor, eating what God direct them to. There is no way those two eggs can taste the same.
These kind of eggs Eggland's Best are horrible are the worst things I've ever eaten in my life. Almost every other one or every 3 they just the yolk breaks even when I'm gentle and they taste horrible maybe I'm getting bad batches but I would never buy them again. Just by your local eggs are the better ones and you know what you're getting
sadly, even organic eggs come most likely from very sad chickens. all those types of organic labeled eggs are mostly just one big scam, sure it's not quite as bad as the generic brands, but, it's still pretty damn bad because of how unregulated it is. ;(
Thanks, the cage free organics are better than the EB eggs I tested here. They're probably pretty close to the local eggs.
Eggland's Best makes brown cage free eggs also I just use them to make my eggplant Parmesan and it came out really good really tasty so you might want to try them sometime too
Yea, depends on country an so on. Obviously the best way to get good eggs would be having your own hen, or buying directly from your local farmer.
Would have been more fair if you'd compared the local eggs to free-range eggs.
I have said this before, but the darker the yoke, the fresher the egg. Great comparison video and that egg is flippin' huge!!
Growing up on a farm in Ohio I ate plenty of bacon and eggs! The main indicator of a quality egg is the color of the yolk. Every farmer knows that! A top grade egg yolk is orange, yes I said orange. A lesser egg yolk is pale yellow. The higher the quality of food the chicken eats makes for a darker color of yolk and consequently a better tasting egg. Now, to address some of you eggspurts lol There must be a zillion ways to cook an egg. Judging from the lame comments I don`t think some of you would know the difference between an egg and a road apple. Great video Clint!
Vital Farms for me. Forever.
Does the movie Cool Hand Luke have special meaning to you? Lol. Yeah I don't believe that type of cholesterol is harmfull either. I use real butter, actual sugar, and I leave the yolks in my eggs. I think a lot of this synthetic so called "diet" crap is what's bad for you.
ah thanks very much for this information, from what I see that local egg is way better then that eggland egg.
@TheAmazingHalfBreed Would also add Free Range means in factory produced eggs that the same barn with 10,000 hens has a small concrete pad that is open to the outside. Buy local folks and support your local producers you can see how we raise our birds and handle our eggs. See if Egglands Best will let you tour one of their production farms......... ask them how much they have paid in FTC fines for deceptive advertising fines while you have them on the phone.
if you cooked them without the seasoning you would get a much more truer taste. Slat afterward if desired.
and to clarify b4 you say eggs give you bad cholesterol, no, my cholesterol HDL getting worst was not from alot of eggs, i was eating 20 normal eggs a day and my HDL actually went up and cholesterol improved. only when i ate egg lands best eggs for 1 month, (hell month from feeling like my intestins were going to blow), i took cholest test and saw my hdl and went down and total choles up, i came to that conclusion. regular brand eggs had been good to me for 3-5 months of eating alot of it.
@Photo314159 The only reason that I was even able to find this video is because I have a video called "free range vs egglands best" or something like that.
Who the hell showed you how to cook an egg. Come on man, where are you going to dip the toast.
yes&yes. also, here are some bad news i found after trying out egg lands best, or should i say "EGG LANDS WORST". after trying to eat 18 egg lands best (1 carton) i found out that too much eggs with cheap Omega 3's lowered my HDL and gave me the worst diarrhea ive ever head. at first i thought it was all the coconut oil, so i cut that, then i thought it was the cheese, finally when i just ate 18 eggs for 3 straight days in a row, i found it it was egg lands best. now im back to regular eggs
Ppl mention this movie all the time to me, still, i dont think i would be able to eat 50 in a row. lol, i cook my eggs on 3 tbl spoons of coconut butter, and add hot sause &salami to it.
and you are right, synthetic things are bad, keep fat and protein high, carbs low, easyiest way to lose weight with out counting calories.
How can you be sure Egglands really does have a set of cage free chickens? I mean, who's to say they aren't lying & slapping the label on the carton for you to believe? Some of us who live in a huge city don't have the luxury of going to a "farmer's market" or having a friend who has chickens, and I am not able to have my own chickens either.
@audiofankk .. .I do like egglands best and still buy them most of the time. There are differences between the types they have and the ones used here are thier furthest from farm fresh eggs I would say, so the comparison isn't exactly fair. It's not a scientific test here, just one to see if I could tell the difference between two eggs I had on hand.
I do however like coconut oil too and it's especially good on bacon! Daisyfield bacon is my fave so far.
Thanks for watching!
Now I'm hungry , thx for the egg comparison... I knew big was going to be better hehe
Thumbs up
Always is lol from a sistah who’s Jamaican
Eggland's Best have made me sicker than a dog. I eat eggs everyday. Been sick for 2 weeks, then got better. Then been sick again this week. Figured out by accident after buying another brand, because they were out of Eggland's it was the eggs. Caused gas so bad was doubled over all week. The flavor is also not good. Must be fried in bacon grease to cover up the horrible taste, but because of SIBO I use Coconut oil, I can't get one egg down without force. I eat cheap eggs, no problem. I eat free range, no problem. I eat pastured, dreamy good, and no problem.
hi, i eat 20 eggs a day, but regular eggs, today im a try eating 18 eggs a day or a carton of egglands best for 30 days and see the diff
holy hell i've never seen an egg cooked so poorly before. shame on you!
I agree, due to the speed that eggs cook and the fact I was trying to film at the same time, they were overdone. I was still able to tell the differences though.
I don't know what "seying" means. I googled it and they had nothing, lol.
yeah :( I wish more people would take this seriously and take a stand for fresher eggs and healthier chickens. You are correct though, it does depend on the country. I wish I had my own hen, haha that would be amazing!
That's bs, lol. I looked it up and I've never noticed their claimed drawbacks.
@SustenanceNCovering Well thanks for the encouragment. Maybe I picked up a few "Egglands Best" employees, lol. I didn't knock them though, I was just comparing them with the farm eggs from around me. I even said that they offer two higher versions than the ones I used too. You can't beat low production local farm eggs though! Thanks for watching!
I know, it's hard to film, talk, and cook at the same time. I could still taste differences though. Normally I don't cook them this long.
Eggland's Best has 170 mg of cholesterol vs 300 mg of cholesterol in a regular egg. That's 130 mg less cholesterol per egg consumed.
I completely agree the farm eggs are unhealthy
BS
@@janicebrewer1067 Egglands Best does have less cholesterol because of the way the chickens are fed.

I like egg lands best better than the store brand. Seems to fill me up more.
Got my first egg today. When we cracked it open it was all orange! The store bought egg looked pale!
I'm searching around for info because I bought England best and couldn't pop with a spoon the yolk and that was weird I've had natural same day laid eggs in the Caribbean and nyc bought eggs there's a difference but I can pop both..this egg was swishing around against the spoon and wouldn't break
Props to all the folks that can actually taste the difference of eggs.
Imo, chicken eggs taste all the same
Thank you for telling doing this experiment. I don't buy eggs much and when I do, I go to my local farmer's market and get eggs at $6 a dozen. If I need eggs right away, I use to get them from Whole Foods who claims to have pastured eggs for about $7 a dozen. Comparing my eggs from my chickens and the other two, I say Whole Food was not worth it. The farmers market was 2nd but my eggs were the best. I should consider EB when I have to buy and can't wait until the weekend.
I’ve always hated Eggland’s commercials. They’re so fake looking and make the eggs look all cooked weird
Isn't a darker yolk more unhealthy for you? Yolk period is unhealthy full of cholesterol, look at the ingredients in Egglands the amount of omega 3 alone. I shop Kroger and their brand has gotten real nasty for some reason. I have tried brown eggs too rubbery, personally I prefer Egglands
Yes. Hard to film and cook something real quickly.
For the protein, or just because?
eggland's for me was absolute garbage. the eggs were tiny, and literally after a couple of days in the fridge, they started to smell, crack, and freeze. ridiculous.
cracked open a couple eggslands best eggs this morning and the inside was like rubber and I couldn't even pull the egg apart
I boiled EB egg.lands egg, the white part peeled layer by layer looks like artificial egg.
I love it! now to find the answer to the claim of more vitamins...I knew farm would taste better!
this guy can't cook for shit
Oh geez! You kidding me? Cook it a little more why don’t ya? I understand some people love to eat over cooked eggs like that, but if you are dong a you tube comparison for people to see which egg is better, then do it the way eggs are supposed to be cooked.
i've always wondered if these eggs were all they're cracked up to be.... (yay! i finally got to use that line)
+Gerry Aire -- Uh? The yolk is lost on me...
The reason the Eggland is smaller is because of the breed of chicken.
all organic eggs are cage free but not all cage free eggs are organic.
the darker color shows that the hen had better food. i dont trust egglands eggs anymore. the pale yellow tells me they are feeding their hens very low quality feed and that the hens are very stressed and most likely spend their entire life in a cage.
Crap, now i have to go and make an egg to eat!
Haha. It happens.
You fucking smoked those eggs bro, absolutely rekt.
Why would you say isn’t it if you’re trying to taste for flavor of the eggs that’s hugely unethical
omega 3 must be eaten for the brain. get as much as you can from foods. i would love to see a comparison of all eggs of omega 3 content.
Egg Land's Best is the reason eggs are sick and the ones that are good Are $6.50 a dozen!!
The older the hen the larger the egg. The more greens a chicken eats, the more yellow the yolk.
awsome review
I have found embryos in egglands eggs
Tara Olivia
That was an eggxeptional eggxperience
@@nancyprado3402 😂👍 that level of sense of humor
Seriously?????
Why are you smacking your lips like that its really annoying
@MsTrueblue777 Yeah it is pretty funny. On RUclips people will get mad about anything, it shows thier true personality. It's as if RUclips memoves all inhibitions since it feels like there's not a real person on the other end.Thanks for the comment!
How can you taste the difference when those eggs are so overcooked.
Tastes better?!!!! I have had one bite of an EB egg and I had to spit it directly into the trash before I could even begin to chew. It tasted synthetic, unnatural and nasty, like something that was never meant to be put in your mouth. I have never had such a vile reaction to a "so - called" food. People who state that they taste better must work for EB.
So I am not the only one! I wrote them an email and told them it was like eating rubber. I didn't like them at all.
Good comparison test from an average consumer. We do a similiar taste test on The Thunder 5 Ranch for our customers that ask if our eggs really taste better than factory eggs. We use EB organic and cage free and spank them 99 out of every 100 test. Something else to consider in the equation is that cage free, organic, and terms like free range were dumbed down so that factory farms could use those terms. Cage free in factory farm terms means 10,000 hens in a barn with sky lights.
Isn't Sunday football?
if you want good eggs lay them yourself...
@threescoopsta1 I have no idea actually, lol. I just assume they aren't lying and that someone or some organization would call them on it if they weren't cage free. Cage free doesn't mean that they ever see the light of day though, it just means that they aren't couped up in a tiny cage. Free Range is even better where they get to go outside. Good tasting eggs come from happy chickens!
@Hobbitus1 Color of the shell has nothing to do with the color of the yolk, the shell color comes from a pigment placed on the egg shell after the egg has formed. The Yolk gets its color from the feed. Hens on a pasture eating grass and bugs with a corn supplement will have extremely dark yolks with a thicker richer texture than a hen fed straight grain based feed.
@audiofankk 1.) I didn't think the largest egg would have any difference in flavor, I really just wanted to see if it had two yolks or not.
2.) This was actually the last time I used this pan. Still use non-stick, but Calphalon and not teflon coated. I never use metal utensils on any of my pans, so I'm not sure where you got that from.
3.) I even pointed out that egglands best has better varieties so it may not be fair. I didn't think I'd notice a difference at all actually.
..cont
Where do these people live that are paying $6-7 for a dozen eggs?! I can go about a mile down the road and get them fresh from the chickens ass for $2 a dozen! I pass several places (farms & homes) on my way to work that sell fresh eggs with the highest being $2.50. I live in Indiana. And yes, they do come from the chickens ass. The vent being used for both egg laying and waste removal.
***** That is crazy! No way would I live in California. I'm too cheap! lol
Where I live, you can get 5 dozen for $3-4 more at one of the grocery chain.
I don't think the size comparison is fair, if you're trying to make a point, as the extra large eggland's best eggs are 10 cents more a dozen at my local store. Generally, though, I understand that the darker yolk does tend to indicate a more nutritious egg. But still, I'd be interested to see an in depth nutritional comparison of a typical farm egg to eggland's best. From what I can tell, the most unique nutritional component to eggs is the omega 3 content, particularly DHA or EPA, and I know EB puts efforts to boost the DHA levels substantially in their eggs. I wonder if chickens raised by an individual like your friend would innately have high DHA omega 3, or if the farmer would still need to add specific ingredients. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the farm raised eggs are otherwise more nutrient dense, though.
I feel like the way you cooked the eggs makes this taste test invalid. But I won’t yuck your yum.
Definitely overcooked. It's hard to film and cook eggs at the same time. But there was still a clear difference in taste.
You should separate the yolks and the whites, cook the whites, and eat the yolks raw. The yolks, esp from a farm, contain omega-3s and healthy dietary cholesterol. If you cook the yolk, it will oxidize the cholesterol so it cannot be used by your body (which is a vital nutrient for your brain, nerves, and hormones btw) and destroy the omega-3s.
The difference is store bought = heartburn every time. Farm fresh no heartburn.
really? i never would have thought that this may be why i always have heartburn. Ive been eating alot of eggs lately and my stomach has been acting up. Thanks for sharing this bit of golden information
LMAO! im seying as an egg connoisseur such as yourself, I dare to disagree! RUINED ... HA!
cage free eggs are the best.
@ahwei12 Yeah, there pretty good. If you're used to spending $6-7 you won't mind going for the Cage Free Organic Egglands eggs. They're better than the one's I had here and around me they're about $4 a dozen. Definately a good substitute when local farm eggs aren't available.
I knew the answer and which one was which just from looking at the thumbnail. Loove my farm eggs
Chickens are modern dinosaurs.
@angel292005 I'm not so sure it means the fresher the egg seeing as they don't lighten up as they get less fresh, but more like the healthier the egg. The darker yolks are definately richer tasting too. This one was a big egg, lol. Thanks for watching!
I could clearly tell a difference. The yolk was more buttery/Creamy, not the butter used.
Thanks for your review. My opinion on the way you cooked them...lower heat for longer (gently😊) will taste much better!
Yes I know. This wasn't a cooking lesson, and about 100 people have also told me that. I was talking and the eggs cooked faster than I could get out what I was saying and film at the same time. When I cook them just to eat, I cook them as you suggest. This was merely a comparison to see if I could tell the difference, and I could, so mission accomplished.
Photo314159 Apologies Photo didn't mean to be rude 😟
No worries, I just wanted to explain it again, because everyone tells me that. I didn't take it as rude.
Photo314159 ok. Good.☺
