Why are American eggs so anemic and pale looking?
Every time I’ve visited burgerland the eggs all look like the top left and are flavorless. Wtf are burgers doing to their eggs??

I've had eggs in France and the UK. There is no difference in taste from the US
Stop getting shitty eggs from Walmart
Mexican eggs are top tier eggs, that the reason they eat more eggs in mexico than anyone else.
Bullshit. Everything taste like beans and beheadings in mexico
Yeah its not because its a third world country run by drug cartels and eggs are cheap huh
>Run by drug cartels
Do Americans really think this? Does Walmart run your country?
Too much cumin
Man, nobody eats eggs 24/7 in mexico, a lot of people dont even like eggs, specially women. but, eggs are good.
>flavorless
They don't taste any different they just look so much better your brain tricks yourself into thinking they taste better. As far as why, it's because most hens in the US are factory farmed and are fed vegetarian diets low in the pigmentation that produces those really dark yolks. Pasture raised hens tens to have the darker yolks.
In the UK they use half a stick of butter for every 1 egg. That's why those idiots think their eggs taste better
>In the UK they use half a stick of butter for every 1 egg
yeah its called the art of french cooking dummy
bullshit
Farmer anon here. Most chicken and duck yolks are average in color don't notice much difference but they are fed protein in meal worms eggs are generally larger on average than store bought. Even sometimes twin yolks in the eggs (shit is baller)
yolk color is dependent upon bird diet. factory farmed eggs eat corn slop and corn slop derivitives, which makes them pale.
Burger here. I get my eggs from a local farm and they look like bottom right. My mom gets eggs from costco and they look like upper left. I've had both and any difference in taste is negligible.
Does your mom get her sex from you?
same I bought Amish eggs for like 6 years then moved out of Amish country and Walmart eggs are identical in taste
did they look the same?
sometimes. the yolk color in Amish eggs varied wildly. some were deep orange and some were almost colorless. I even got a rotten one once and another that was completely hulk green but smelled fine. I didn't eat it.
That's why I buy these now. It's $10+ a carton but it's worth it. Put my sister on to them and now she doesn't buy anything but these.
They're normal eggs like and not the ones shat out by sickly prisoner chickens.
have you ever drove out and visited one of the farms on the box
J&D Farms https://www.janddfarms.com/J%26D_Farms/Home.html
can't find a "channel farm".
if you go to their website and look up the farms they supposedly show you a picture of that farm, but can't find them in google.
https://vitalfarms.com/farm/boone-creek/
works fine for me. Not sure what the issue is.
it shows a picture of a "farm".
gives no location so you can confirm if it is real.
>why don't they publish the names and addresses for all 300 of their partnered farms
>this is clearly a conspiracy at the highest level by Big Egg to undermine the wallets and already strained family units of White America
so schizos like you don't show up at the farms you fucking weirdo
got it, they don't exist. that's what I thought. just normal factory farms. thank anon, you've been great.

Disregarded.
Dude at that price just go to a farmers market or an actual farm for eggs.
complete mental retardation. its fucking eggs man
Eggs from my local hippy dippy commune farm are 5-6 bucks/dozen and are actually hand raised. You're just a retard
>everyone lives in rural redneckville bible belt where farms are just everywhere
These people are allowed to vote.
Says the dipshit that got duped by hipster marketing into paying $10 for eggs
>can't read but still types
how is this possible
Orrrrr you could just make friends with someone (coworker, neighbor, etc.) who keeps chickens in your yard and get infinite eggs for free
I bet you also subscribe to delivery meal kits
I can tell from what you typed that I'm having a color blind moment
I went to England and the eggs were exactly the same, I even had an incredibly bad poached egg thaf was simultaneously watery and overcooked somehow
It's just a change of beta keratine in the diet of the bird you absolute retard
They all taste the same, you're just eating up the grift that dark eggs = better
>and are flavorless
you're supposed to add salt
lol yolk color in modern times is completely arbitrary it’s like going to a paint store and picking the shade you want based on the feed.
North American markets like lighter yolks and Europe likes darker but it’s all the same shit
Yolk color has nothing to do with nutrition or anything else like that and is a direct function of what the chickens are fed because pigments in the feed will transfer over to the eggs. Typically marigolds are used to make yolks look pretty and vibrant. Producers who are looking to cut costs don't feed their chickens pigments so you get yellow yolks insted of orange ones.
do i need to keep eggs in the fridge or
Only if the eggs have been washed by the producer. If you live in a country that doesn't wash eggs (and has significantly higher rates of salmonella), or you buy them from a boutique farmer who doesn't wash them you can leave them out at room temperature. Otherwise you should refrigerate them. But there is literally no reason to NOT refrigerate eggs since refrigeration retards spoilage in general and will have an additive effect on eggs that still have a natural film/coating.
No but if you leave then out too long they'll hatch and then you're stuck with a bunch of deformed baby birds to slaughter or take care of.
They're manufactured in factories out of corn syrup solids and partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.
*poops in your mouth*
Suck those corn syrup solids down, yurosperm.
you’re buying poverty eggs. get the happy farm eggs
they feed alfalfa to chickens to give them the dark yolks
every couple of weeks we have this thread.
egg producers in every country (and even in local regions) carefully control the diet of their chickens in order to get the color of eggs that the locals expect. they do this by adding or limiting the amount of beta carotene in the chicken feed. THAT'S IT THAT'S ALL!
In some countries they expect blood red eggs, in other countries everyone thinks a yellow or orange egg is a sign of icky chemicals and won't eat them so they make egg yolks that are white.
here in the US people expect yellow to orange and that's what they get.
>t. rent free

Why are you putting eggs on your burgers, that's a little odd.
Why don't the factory farmers just add the pigment to their feed to make their eggs more attractive
vital farms does that and they use supplemental corn and soy feed
Because that costs money and most people don't care if their fried egg at breakfast is orange instead of yellow.
The yolk's vibrancy has literally no impact on flavor. It's all in your head the same way that people who eat steaks under green light think they tasted rotten despite being no different than a steak served during natural light.
Shitty factory farmed eggs are not unique to America. Get healthy farm eggs and they are good, doesn't matter what borders you dwell between.
At this point all the eggs I eat are poached so I don't usually notice the yolk color
Check out these dubd
My nigga got twin yolks. Shit is like winning the lottery.
If you use cheap eggs there also an abundance of organic eggs at farmers market for like 4-5$ a dozen.
I keep chickens. Some years the majority of eggs look like 1, some years the majority look like 4.
It all depends on what bugs show up. During the winter they tend to be paler because they are just on grains. Stop your retarded obsession over americans, go about your life and don't think of us, because by fuck I don't spare a second of thought on you.
>go about your life and don't think of us
Fat chance.
bros how do I stop my eggs from sticking to the pan when I fry them? I put olive oil in the pan, put eggs, salt, cover, low heat, they always stick to the pan
Try a bit higher heat and a chunk of butter, let them sit until the white starts to cook. shake the pan a little to get them to move around and then turn down the heat.
I like over easy so I usually just turn it off when I flip them and move the pan off the burner until done
Slide ride off every time
Eggs are best fried at a medium heat, uncovered.
The solution is to use a pan that you don't have to worry about damaging and gently scrape them out. I use lard in stainless for my fried eggs and they stick a little but they come off easily with gentle (metal) spatula pressure.
The flavour and the colour of the yolk aren't directly related, but the eggs of chickens with a wider diet will tend to be both more flavourful and more colourful. It just comes down to whatever they're feeding their chickens. It's a big country, I'm sure you can find good eggs there.
Serious Eats did a taste test and found that tasters couldn't taste a difference between eggs. https://www.seriouseats.com/what-are-the-best-eggs
I believe it, but I wouldn't scramble eggs for a taste test. Texture and appearance matter.
>why didn't they prepare the eggs in a way that would encourage confirmation bias?
Smoothest brain I've seen today.
I said texture and appearance matter, genius. You wouldn't mince steaks for a blind test, and good looking food literally tastes better because that's how our brains work.
>explicitly admits that the appearance of the fried eggs would have influenced the results irrespective of the flavor
>doubles down that criteria unrelated to the taste should have been a primarily component for a taste test wherein the contestants were prepared and plated identically
Your brain is proving to be even smoother than previously assumed. Were you born like this or did you drink lead paint as a kid?
Serious Eats also said marinades don't do anything and now I question every single paragraph they've ever published
They were right though
And that's why that site is utter garbage.
North and South America refrigerate their eggs.
Europe, Africa, and Asia don't.
That doesn't affect the colour of the yolk or the flavour. They do it because they wash their eggs, which causes them to spoil rapidly.
Battery egg farming.
The color off the yolk cooks the egg.
I cooked a poached egg. The mayo was broken (I didn't realize how much oil goes in to mayo). Just figured I wouldn't want to start a new thread for this and it kind of fits here.
Yeah, chickens that go out on pasture to eat have darker eggs. The Japanese feed their chickens flowers. I'd argue that there is probably some nutritional benefit to chickens eating ze' bugs (and I'll be happy) and assorted feed as opposed to only eating corn products.
Forgot the picture. I've been watching the roux brothers make eggs and I've been giving it a go. Can't wait to try the fancy omlete.
It’s just the conditions the chickens are raised in, I get eggs from my ex who raises chickens that look like the bottom right, they don’t taste any different
>bottom right
Those chickens are being fed marigolds.
Eggs are bad for your health, just like coffee. This is the Truth.
