Local Egg

Local eggs are those produced by native or village chickens that are usually raised in a natural environment. These chickens are often free-range, meaning they roam around and feed on grains, insects, and plants. Local eggs are known for their rich taste, thick yolk, and high nutritional value.

Compared to commercial eggs, local eggs contain more protein, vitamins, and minerals such as iron and calcium. They are also considered healthier because they come from chickens that are not fed with chemical supplements or antibiotics. The yolk of a local egg is usually darker yellow or orange, showing the natural diet of the chicken.

Local eggs are commonly used in rural areas for cooking and traditional remedies. They are especially popular during festivals, religious offerings, and for feeding children and patients due to their strength-giving properties.
