We’re no strangers to the benefits of eggs. With a superior value and maximum kitchen versatility, there’s plenty of reason to have this complete protein in your meal prep regularly. But there’s one important thing to know: Not all eggs are created equal.
When it comes to health, sustainability, and flavor, Pete & Gerry’s Organic Pasture Raised Eggs take this simple, everyday staple to the next level. C’mon, let’s get cracking.
Each large Pete & Gerry’s Organic Pasture Raised Egg packs 6 grams of high-quality, 100-percent bioavailable protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. This complete protein profile is a must for preserving lean muscle mass, says Mary Ellen Kelly, M.S., R.D., C.S.S.D., a Boston-based sports dietitian. Protein is essential for reaching or maintaining a healthy weight, as it increases satiety for longer.
Whole eggs are one of the few food sources of vitamin D, which your body needs for bone health and immune function, per the National Institutes of Health (NIH). You’ll also find healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids, “which support hormone production, including testosterone—an important factor for men’s strength, energy, and metabolism,” Kelly explains.
Eggs contain more than 13 key vitamins and minerals, including choline, which supports brain function and focus; B vitamins to help your body extract energy from food; lutein, which assists assist eye health; selenium, a trace mineral that may support heart health and fertility; and zinc, which aids in immune health and wound healing.
What the eggs don’t contain matters, too. Because they’re Certified USDA Organic, Pete & Gerry’s Organic Pasture Raised Eggs are free from added hormones, antibiotics, synthetic pesticides, and GMOs. “For men focused on optimizing performance, recovery, and long-term health, selecting responsibly sourced, minimally processed foods can make a difference,” Kelly affirms.
Pete & Gerry’s Organic Pasture Raised Eggs come from hens that forage outdoors and typically eat a more varied diet (insects, seeds, and grasses versus the usual all-grain, all-the-time routine). This yields higher levels of key nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and antioxidants like lutein, compared to conventional eggs.
Crack open one of Pete & Gerry’s Organic Pasture Raised Eggs, and it’s a difference you can actually see. “While yolk color can vary naturally, deeper hues often signal higher nutrient density and better feed quality,” Kelly points out. The rich, golden-orange yolk is a direct reflection of a hen’s wholesome, diverse diet.
Hens raised on Pete & Gerry’s farms meet Certified Humane animal standards. Their birds have ample room to roam, explore, and generally do their natural chicken thing on green pastures. These eggs don’t just fuel performance—they’re eggs you can truly feel good about eating.
At the end of the day, your food’s got to be delicious. And enhanced nutrition and clean sourcing add up to an all-around better flavor. In fact, there’s a good chance you’ll be reaching for these eggs for more than just a basic breakfast scramble. “They fit into any meal or snack, from a quick breakfast scramble to hard-boiled eggs, or added to rice bowls, tacos, avocado toast, or salads for a satisfying protein boost,” Kelly notes. The only question is, which recipe will you crack into first?
