What are the best eggs to buy?

When you arrive in front of the egg shelf, the choice seems simple. But those who want to make an informed purchase soon find themselves wondering: which are the best eggs to buy? Codes, labels, shell colors and marketing confuse the consumer, but the answer depends on a single principle: knowing the supply chain!

Codes and Breeding: Where to Start

A good place to start is to learn to read the code printed on the shell. The first number indicates the type of farming: 0 (organic), 1 (free range), 2 (free range), 3 (caged). But this number alone does not tell the whole truth.

There are eggs with code 2, from free-range, which come from happy hens, fed with selected ingredients, free to roam and cared for according to rigorous standards. At the same time, there are eggs with code 1 coming from standardized farms, with minimal access to the outside. This is why, as we explain in our article on the egg code, it is necessary to go beyond the number.

Quality is recognized by the supply chain

The best eggs to buy come from farms that guarantee transparency, food safety, animal welfare and nutritional value. And this is where Nu'ovo, the first Italian nutraceutical egg, stands out.

Produced by chickens that roam freely in the Sibari plain, Nu'ovo is the result of a circular and scientifically validated agricultural project. The chickens are fed with Goji berries and Moringa Oleifera grown on the farm, two powerful ingredients from an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory point of view.

Studies conducted by the Federico II University of Naples have confirmed that Nu'ovo eggs contain up to 800% more carotenoids than traditional eggs. A result that makes these eggs not only a food, but an ally of health.

Ethics, nutrition and taste: a single product

In addition to the nutritional benefits, Nu'ovo is the symbol of responsible agriculture. Our choice to use code 2 is linked to careful management of safety: the hens are protected at night and during bad weather, but for the rest of the day they roam freely outside. A hybrid condition that combines the best of free-range and free-range farming, as also described in the article free-range eggs.

The result? An egg with an authentic flavor, highly digestible, GMO-free and with a higher-than-average protein and micronutrient content. Choosing Nu'ovo means bringing a controlled, good, and truly functional product to the table.

In conclusion, today more than ever the best eggs to buy are those that tell a story of respect, innovation and transparency. And Nu'ovo is concrete proof of this. A small egg, a great project.
