![]() Don't be alarmed - protein supplements only make up a very small part of hens' mostly grain-based diet, and most of the protein comes from vegetarian sources like soybean meal. Vegetarian Eggs: Eggs marketed as vegetarian come from hens that are exclusively fed a plant-based diet.However, hens don't eat grass like cows and sheep so pasture-raised hens are fed a grain-based diet like hens in other production systems. Pasture-Raised Eggs: This is a type of free range production that emphasises lower stocking densities and rotational grazing so there is always ground cover and grazeable plant species for the hens.There is only a relatively small number of organic egg farms in Australia so look for a certified organic logo on the label to verify the claim. ![]()
