Native eggs refer to the eggs produced by chickens raised free-range in the natural environment of the farm, which are called native eggs, or stupid eggs, chai eggs and so on.
Because the yolk of this egg is darker in color, it tastes very fragrant when eaten. So many people think that this kind of egg with a more fragrant taste is better in nutrition, is this true? It may be useful to analyse these aspects.
1, the taste is fragrant due to the fat
Many people think that the reason why the taste of native eggs is very fragrant is because chickens do not need to feed feed during the feeding process, but just eat some grains or some small insects. The eggs produced by such chickens contain various nutrients that are very high, so the taste of native eggs is particularly fragrant.
The fat and cholesterol content in native eggs is indeed higher than that of ordinary eggs, and it is more than twice as high. It is also because of the high fat content that the taste of the eggs becomes very good, and it is particularly fragrant to eat.
2. Not suitable for people with chronic diseases
Due to the high fat and cholesterol content in native eggs, not all people are suitable for eating native eggs. For example, people who are too obese or have fatty liver disease, as well as people with hyperlipidemia, thrombosis, and coronary heart disease.
If these people eat a large number of eggs, the fat and cholesterol levels that enter the body will increase, aggravating obesity and fatty liver phenomenon. It can also lead to an increase in the level of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, and the body's blood flow rate will be affected, thus aggravating a series of chronic diseases.
3. Ordinary eggs do not contain hormones
Many people believe that chickens that produce ordinary eggs will be kept in cages when they are raised, and they need to be fed a lot of feed, and this egg will contain a lot of hormone components. If children eat such eggs, growth and development will be affected. Adults eating such eggs will cause endocrine disorders and other phenomena.
And the native eggs do not need to eat feed food, so they are very healthy, this statement is not correct. Chickens that produce ordinary eggs do eat some feed containing hormones during the feeding process.
However, this hormone only enters the chicken's body, not into the egg. Therefore, there is no phenomenon of eating ordinary eggs and causing hormonal disorders in the body.
4. The nutritional composition is almost the same
Whether it is a native egg or an ordinary egg, it is rich in protein, as well as phosphorus, iron, calcium, fat, cholesterol and other components.
The ingredients contained in these two kinds of eggs are almost the same, and there is no claim that native eggs are more nutritious than ordinary eggs.
5, native eggs are easy to breed bacteria
Chickens that produce native eggs do eat some grains in the process of breeding. But many of these grains that are eaten belong to the moldy type of grains, and these foods will contain a lot of toxins.
In addition, the shell of the native egg will have some chicken feces, and these feces will pass through the holes in the eggs and enter the inside of the eggs. Once improperly preserved, it is very likely to breed a large number of bacteria. Then after eating such eggs, there is no health benefit.
All in all, the nutrients in native eggs are almost the same as those in ordinary eggs, so there is no such thing as native eggs being more nutritious than ordinary eggs. Therefore, when buying eggs, just pay attention to the quality of the eggs, do not care whether it is a native egg.
