Egg yolk is influenced by the diet provided to hens. The color of the egg yolk will naturally change to a deep yellow if marigold flower extract are included in the diet. Is that all, though? No.
The “health” of the egg will also benefit from the marigolds. A study on the effects of marigold flower extract on eggs was published in the Journal of Poultry Science. They discovered that marigolds not only result in richer yolks but also lower cholesterol levels. This means that both the hens and the eggs we eat are healthier! Incredible!
So, when you visit your neighborhood garden center’s flower section, make sure to buy some seeds or a flat of marigold extract lutein. They are affordable and simple to maintain. What a wonderful treat for your daughters!
