From the Market: Organic Eggs

I'm not that big of a stickler for buying 100% organic food 100% of the time - it just gets to be too much of a strain on my wallet and can be really inconvenient at times. But there is one thing I absolutely always get organic: eggs! The difference is really amazing and you actually get more egg for your buck. Organic eggs are usually larger and more robust and naturally fortified with more Omega-3s; the yolks are a deeper, richer yellow and sometimes even a yellow-orange; the shells are slightly thicker, stronger, and less prone to crack. If you're not lucky enough to have your own chicken coop in the backyard, so many markets and stores carry them now that they are relatively easy to find. Remember: happy hens yield happy eggs.
