I have traveled in Eastern Europe and I am annoyed to find out supermarkets seem offer only stale eggs (like white inside, no A -vitamin, tastes bad), they cost in the range of 7-12 cents per egg. My host offered me some eggs from local people, they were superb -- thick yellow, good smelling and tasted good.
- How can I know before buying that I am buying a quality egg?
- I like to eat eggs on the morning so I find the bad eggs very irritating, the are like paper -- not nutritious at all. For cooking, I am unsure whether they matter but I want to buy now only quality healthy eggs. How can I find such eggs?
I feel there is no point to save a few cents to buy rubbish, eggs are very cheap protein source although I paid a bit more for healthy quality eggs.

, but not where you are now; US, Canada, Botswana? Do you live in an urban or rural area? If you are outside of sub-urban areas, the best answer may well be to get a few chickens. If you are not going for a commercial operation raising chickens is relatively easy and a great source of quality eggs. – Cos Callis Jul 28 '11 at 17:07"Eggs from pasture-raised chickens have 2/3 more vitamin A and 7 times the amount of beta-carotene than battery-raised eggs. They are also higher in B12, folic acid and vitamin E."
