 I guess this week is officially egg week on the Frank Defano YouTube channel and today we're going to compare supermarket brands versus the eggs we now have available on frankiesfreerangemeat.com and just go over some marketing terms as well. I did a video on natural free range grass-fed organic, what those terms mean in regards to meat. I think sometime last year, I'm not sure if I touched on eggs in that video I might have. Either way, we're going to take a look and discuss those things. I will say the most significant thing that has changed is usually people look at the color of the egg yolk as an indicator of quality. The companies, the corporate shills, they quote on to that and now they can just put things like red pepper flakes in the feed that will change the egg yolk color without actually being an indicator of the nutritional status. So you really have to trust the person you're buying the eggs from, ask them what's in the chicken feed and if they can't give you a straight answer, hey it's probably not with buying the eggs. So these are lined up from lowest to highest quality and the regular extra large grade brown eggs are $3.49, the organic valley eggs are $5.79 and the vital farms pasture raised eggs are $7.49 and then with shipping and everything included, the eggs on Frankie's syringe meat are around that price point but it's a feed that you do not have access to in the stores. So again, these are basically the regular eggs you're going to get. These are organic, these are supposedly pasture raised but probably supplemented with the vegetarian feed and then these are corn and soy free feed, also absent of fish meal. So before we crack into these eggs, we're going to go over these marketing terms. So outdoor access, extra large brown grade eggs, this just means conventional eggs. That's really it. You know, they build a little like back yard for the chickens near the warehouse that they're clumped together in and they never really go out to see it so these are nothing special. This is just like they're trying to be clever with the marketing terms to make you think that the eggs are healthy when in reality it's just corn and soy crap feed lot chicken. This organic valley certified organic free range. That's actually the same as outdoor access. Free range just means they have access to a certain area of land but it doesn't mean they're actually using it. No hormones, no antibiotics, that's typical with all chickens now. These eggs are getting a organic corn and soy feed. So this is basically regular conventional feed but they slap an organic certification on it so the Omega-6 is still out of whack, it's still not good for you but it does have less chemicals, less pollutants, less toxins than the regular eggs. Now we have the pasture raised eggs from Vital Farms and these are supposedly out on pasture. I don't know the specifics. They definitely supplement corn and soy in the feed on these eggs and Vital Farms also has an organic version of these eggs that are actually cheaper which doesn't make much sense to me. I guess the cheaper eggs are just on the organic corn and soy feed just like the organic valley eggs. So we're assuming that the organic valley and the organic Vital Farms eggs are going to be the same but I don't have both of those today to compare. Then we have the eggs available on Frankie Syrange Meat. This is a corn and soy free feed and that's really what you want. You want to remove those allergies, you want to remove the low quality crap and that's really what's best on the market right now unless you're about to get some wild turkey eggs. So let's crack into these and see what they look like. Now as I'm cracking these eggs it reminds me one indicator of quality eggs that they're pretty hard to crack. So a lot of the regular conventional supermarket eggs they're very, very easy to break open. Sometimes you just touch them and they start cracking but if you have eggs from a local farm generally speaking the shells are going to be more rigid. That could also have to do with the calcium content. So the regular eggs actually look really, really dark. So they're definitely putting some type of pepper flakes or carotene or some type of supplement in these eggs to make them look like they're supposedly higher quality but the shells are very easy to crack open and from a visual richness perspective you can't really tell much. When we move on to the organic valley eggs I would say these are way healthier than the vital farms pasture raised eggs because we know that these aren't getting some sort of artificial carotene or red pepper flakes supplement to make the egg yolk starker so it's not that bad but we know it's also not a good quality egg. You shouldn't really include those in your diet. Vital farms pasture raised eggs you know is this coloring from the birds being on pasture or is it from them putting something in the feed it's hard to say you know it's hard to say. I think vital farms is very good at marketing I think they have an incredible profit margin on their eggs. I think they're doing very well but you know I don't think they provide a quality product to be honest and the eggs we have on Frankie Strange Meat right now are visibly the darkest colored yolks out of all of these eggs and there's nothing artificial or synthetic in the feed and it's corn and soy free. It's difficult to tell guys the visual stuff to me you know the coloring isn't really what I look at you know does it look like a healthy yolk is it fresh you know when you crack these conventional lowest quality eggs open the yolks are already broken that's a very bad sign. How tight is the yolk together these look okay these look okay but these look very like tight and uniform and the proteins are very strong. Same with the separation of the egg whites that also has a lot to do with the freshness and you could really tell where the egg whites are in these eggs. You could see the outline of the egg white on these two around the yolk and then you can see like the extra kind of watery egg white content but this it's very hard to see this it's pretty hard to see and this you can't tell it looks like a a soupy mess of egg white so visually outside of color there's still some things you can look at and if you do really want to relate to color you want to go with like how dark it is you want to look with how how rich it is you know you could almost tell by looking at it it just feels like you know even though this orange color and this orange color kind of look the same it still looks different visually speaking the richness of this yolk the firmness all that stuff it feels different than this even though the actual color on like a color wheel is almost identical and it's really about the margin guys you know these conventional eggs you know they're getting sold for 350 I would be surprised if the supermarket's paying more than a dollar a dozen for them their organic Valley you know even if they're selling for around six dollars it's probably two dollars a dozen that they're paying for them but they don't sell as much of them and the volume isn't as high and the vital farms eggs the fact that these are you know seven eight dollars a dozen in a supermarket and they're probably getting them for two dollars a dozen very hard-margin product but I'm not sure how much volume they sell and then we have you know the legit stuff the corn and soy free eggs and in my mind you know why are you gonna pay for five six seven eight dollars for eggs if you can spend a dollar or two more and get corn and soy free you know it's kind of sucks that they've been able to use these marketing terms to take advantage of the general public and people don't understand what goes into the feed but what are you gonna do well hopefully you guys have enjoyed this video and learned a little something if you could please drop a like leave a comment down below subscribe so that YouTube can unsubscribe you next week and be sure to check that notification bell so they don't notify you of my videos you guys can go to frank-default.com to check out all of my businesses and support me we have the eggs available on frankiesfreerangeme.com I'm wearing my black sweatshirt black sweat pants silver lined clothing from wifi shielding.com so definitely check that out guys hopefully we don't have too many egg issues testing out the shipping the first few weeks but if you guys have any issues please just reach out to me and we always just issue an instant refund if you can just please send us pictures and let us know what the order number is
