The facts: Organic food is best. Period – full stop. No debate. This is especially important with eggs and other high-fat foods, since toxins, hormones, fertilizers, and other chemicals are concentrated more in the fat tissues.

The problem: Organic farmers want profits just like any other company, so they often cut corners – namely, feeding their chickens with cheap organic food like corn and soy, that are high in omega 6 fats, which are inflammatory, especially when compared to omega 3 fats, which are anti-inflammatory.

The project: I put my AI in “deep research” mode and asked it to rank organic eggs based on omega 6 and omega 3 levels for my area (Seattle and suburbs), focusing mainly on the omega 3 fats. Here’s the chart it generated. The most surprising thing was the lack of disclosure from the companies. I surmise it is because of variation in feed due to seasons and availability, so the fat content and ratios would also vary based on those factors.

Bottom line: What I have learned from this is to buy those who advertise omega 3 on their packaging (as the top three do in this list). If you live in an area where Angel Acres eggs are sold, that would be the best bet. The ultimate best eggs would be from chickens that forage in organic fields, finding their own food, but this can only be found on select small local farms, or, if you live in Hawaii, Cebu, Bermuda, or Key West, just go figure out how to grab some eggs from the plethora of wild chickens roaming around. 😉

• This ranking is based on the available information in the research snippets and may not be exhaustive.
• Omega-3 content can vary depending on the specific feed and farming practices. Look for specific nutritional information on the packaging.
• Angel Acres (the best ratio of all brands) is included at the bottom because it focuses on low omega-6 (linoleic acid), but it’s not typically found in standard Seattle area grocery stores.
• Trader Joe’s Organic Pasture Raised eggs are also listed at the bottom as a potentially good option, but specific omega-3 and omega-6 data were not available.
• Brands like Simple Truth Organic and Happy Egg Co. may have some omega-3 content, but specific levels were not consistently available in the research.
• Kirkland Signature’s (Costco) ranking is lower due to a lack of specific information regarding omega-3 and omega-6 content.
