What Egg Yolk Color Really Tells You


Final Thoughts

Egg yolk color is mostly influenced by the hen’s diet, not by whether the egg is “good” or “bad.” Both pale yellow and deep orange yolks can be nutritious and safe to eat when handled and cooked properly.

If you prefer darker yolks, look for eggs from hens raised on varied diets, such as pasture-raised or free-range flocks.
