organic eggs
Hen-laid, naturally raised
Organic eggs come from hens raised according to certified organic standards—fed organic feed without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, given access to the outdoors, and not treated with antibiotics.
The label distinguishes them from conventional eggs in grocery stores: I only buy organic eggs.
Whether they taste different or offer nutritional benefits remains debated.
