Do organic eggs taste differently from regular eggs and why should we pay the price?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Organic eggs will have a richer taste than the eggs you buy at your local supermarket. The yolks will likely be dark orange rather than yellow and stand up taught, like a ball, in my experience. Lest we forget, chickens are birds and naturally feed on bugs and seeds. Organic eggs will come from chickens raised like birds, rather than chickens raised like egg manufacturers. That, in and of itself, is, in my opinion, reason enough to seek out organic eggs and pay the price they are asking. Fortunately, I live in the sticks and I get organic eggs free from friends that have chickens. Failing that, I’ll pay $3 a dozen for eggs from chickens, versus eggs from the store (70¢ at Walmart yesterday, I noticed).
