Hey Joseph,

I think you are meaning” pasteurized eggs” which refers to eggs that have been heated to kill bacteria. “Pastured” (or free range) eggs refer to chickens have access to the outdoors. Pastured eggs are what I recommend, when it’s possible to get them.

This is such a perfect list. (I say that because I do everything on here.)

I will take it one step above that: I buy farm fresh local (2 blocks away) un-pastured eggs.

I like to live life on the edge but I still keep within a set of rules with these types of eggs:

1. I don’t take chances with my young boy even though both of us have strong immune systems. Therefore, he will get store bought eggs when he wants them (which is extremely rare).

2. I do the float test. I will cook all eggs thoroughly that are touching the bottom (even if it is just one end). If I get a batch that is really fresh and really young (I am sitting and watching the chicken laying them out), I might go over-easy on the eggs.

3. Anything requiring raw eggs (such as hollandaise sauce or yuk hoe, Korean seasoned raw beef with raw egg on top), I will always go with store bought/pastured eggs.

When it comes to sprouting grains, I find that my blood sugar is more stable meaning I’ll feel less hungry. I can eat oatmeal and be hungry 30 minutes later. Not so when it’s soaked! It will fill me up all morning.

This is such an obvious difference to me. Not only does it save money but my body is telling me that one way is giving me more nutrition.
