Eggland's Best Organic Grade A Brown Eggs

I've been picking these up at Costco (they come two dozen to a pack) because I'm trying to increase our Omega 3 intake in our diets. While some reviews have found these types of eggs to taste fishy, I haven't heard any complaints of the sort. Having never eaten brown eggs, I was surprised at how sturdy the shells seemed to be compared to white eggs; they almost appear to be fake to my inexperienced eye. But unlike the regular eggs I usually buy at Costco, every one I've cracked open has been fresh.

According to their Web site, they feed their hens an all vegeterian diet that contains: healthy grains, canola oil, and an all natural supplement of rice bran, alfalfa, sea kelp and Vitamin E. What it doesn't have: animal fat, animal byproducts, recycled or processed food, hormones or antibiotics.

According to their nutritional comparison:

Eggland’s Best eggs contain seven times more Vitamin E than ordinary eggs, 100 mg of Omega 3, shown to be beneficial to the heart, 25% less Saturated Fat, and 185 mcg of Lutein, shown to prevent macular degeneration of the eyes. In addition, Eggland’s Best eggs contain just 180 mg of Cholesterol compared to 215 in an ordinary egg.
