What are Fertile Eggs?

[DN Moderator]

Fertile eggs are those that have actually been "fertilized" or insperminated by a rooster.  In other words, they'd actually become a chicken if properly nurtured.  Most commercial eggs are simply laid by a hen and have not been "fertilized".  If you can't find fertile eggs, then go for the cage free ones.  Fertile eggs, in my opinion, do not taste any different from unfertilized, but many times have a red blood drop in the yoke.  Many health food grocery stores will carry them & even some bigger chain grocery stores as well.

What are the benefits of eating fertile egges verses regular store bought eggs?

It's part of the concept that the foods that we eat nowadays are overly feminized.  Most of the meat we eat is either from the female or castrated animals for tenderization purposes, among other things.  The fertile eggs are a way for us to get both the x and y chromosomes in the egg.
