Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 >> I will look for pasteurized Eggs....the ones I've been buying say organic and free range, but NOT pasteurized, which to me is a word now misleading and misunderstood when it comes to Eggs. No, no, I'm sorry, I did not mean to mislead or confuse. The kind of egg you want to look for is PASTURED, that is, raised on pasture (grass fields), not pasteurized. Pasteurization is a heating process used to kill germs in liquids like milk or cider. A pasteurized egg would be cooked! <grin> >> I buy Eggs, organic/free range at a premium price, from a well known " health food " store. Apparently, they aren't at all that they are made out to be. They may be, they may not be. What you need to ask is whether the chickens who laid the eggs are confined to a barn, or whether they are allowed to roam outside in a pasture (field of grass and plants.) A good place to find someone near you who raises chickens naturally is this website: http://www.localharvest.org It has listings for small farmers who sell directly from the farm gate. Depending on where you live you could find someone who raises their birds naturally and buy eggs from them (probably for less than the health food store!)

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 pastured, pasturized. What was I thinking.... the iz is the difference. <g> I'll just have to call the vendors. I checked a few more brands, not one said " pastured " . All said " free range " . It may be that they do not want to confuse the conumer by having them think the eggs have been cooked. --- Laura Haggarty <lhaggarty wrote: > No, no, I'm sorry, I did not mean to mislead or > confuse.
