ELI5, why are egg yokes from outward the U.S. much more orange than in the States?
In: 43
Couple years ago we went up to Santa Rosa, CA for a beer festival and found an AirBnB in Sebastopol that was a farmhouse with some studios, the lady that ran it left us some fresh eggs from her chickens.
We were driving down to the coast and got some breakfast, there was a market that had an array of really nice smoked salmon. Picked up some local cream cheese too.
The omelets I made from those were fucking amazing. The yolks were a beautiful orange color and the salmon and cream cheese just melted in your mouth.
Then we opened a cupboard and found a “rice krispie treat” in a box with some psychedelic artwork, cut a small slice and whoo boy that was a ride.
Anyway long story long the more orange color seems to be from smaller farm raised chickens fed by hand rather than mass produced stuff you find in the grocery store.
