Organic, Free-Range, vegetarian fed & cage free eggs, whats the difference. There can be a drastic difference, but you really have to be an educated consumer. On my latest video I try to shed some light on eggs.

Why Buy Organic?
The feed given to the hens may include organic supplements like flaxseed meal, which increases vitamin A and omega-3 acids and improves taste. The birds are better treated too, with more room to move around.
Price: $4.39 a dozen for grade-A large brown eggs
Why Buy Conventional?
The pluses are price and availability. It's just easier and cheaper to buy nonorganic.
Price: $3.79 a dozen for grade-A large brown eggs
Verdict: Organic. The treatment of the birds seals the deal. An industrial hen in a battery cage is not a pretty sight.
