    I love eggs! I only by organic eggs because they taste awesome. I eat eggs daily, sometimes eating 6 eggs in a day. And yesssss, the yolks too. My cholesterol levels are phenomenal .

    What tastes different about organic eggs?

    Nothing, as far as I can tell. Flavor is going to come from the chicken's diet and the feeding practices for factory produced eggs are grain based, whether organic or not. Free range doesn't mean much in regards to large scale production. The chicken houses are disgusting.

    The more flavorful eggs will be from pasture chickens that graze for a varied diet. Bugs, worms, snakes, greens, etc. I think the flavor is richer. The yolks are a vibrant orangey-yellow, which some people find disconcerting. My SIL and her husband raise chickens. They supplement grazing with non-organic feed, but I'd rather have those eggs than anything marked "organic" from the grocery store.

    I can taste a significant difference in the meat of our chickens but not the eggs. Most people I give eggs to are disappointed the first time because they expect them to taste different, especially because they look different.

    I can taste a difference in the two. My mom's eggs have a stronger flavor to them. She free ranges her chickens in her yard, and feeds them scraps. I don't like the taste of eggs, and I can tell which ones are her chickens. She tested me LOL.

    I love eggs! Don't worry about your consumption of 2-3 per day (sometimes more). I would think that's fine. If you're looking for a great egg dish, try Eggs in Purgatory... I usually use leftover veggies in it! Yum!!! This is just one of MANY variations. http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/eggs-in-purgatory
