Soy-Free Eggs

Have you tried our Hidden Nest Soy-Free and GMO-Free Pastured eggs? Many of our customers can’t go without them! There are several good reasons you should give our soy-free eggs a try. We won’t go into depth on all of the controversy regarding soy (health risks vs. potential benefits), but there are definitely some things in our experience and the experience of our customers that have led us to believe soy-free eggs are a valuable and nutritious option! First of all, if you have a soy allergy or intolerance, here’s why you should make sure to find specifically labeled soy-free eggs. Many chickens’ diets are supplemented with a soymeal-based or corn-based feed, which could be organic (made with non-GMO soybeans) or non-organic. The feed formula is not typically included on the label, so in order to enjoy your eggs without fear of an allergic reaction, make sure you pick up some soy-free eggs. Second, some sources say that if you have an egg-allergy, it could actually be that you are allergic to the soy that was in the chickens’ feed! If you’re eager for the opportunity to eat eggs again, try some soy-free eggs to see if that makes a difference. A word of caution: if a medical professional has diagnosed you with an egg allergy or you have a severe reaction when you eat eggs, please do not try this without consulting your doctor!! Even if you don’t have any allergies, eating soy has been shown to pose risks of increasing estrogen in the body, impairing thyroid function, and inhibiting the body from absorbing essential nutrients in your food.

Overall, a soy-free and GMO-free diet can do wonders for your health. We encourage you to stop by the Old Dutch Cupboard to browse the various options we have in store for you!
