When organic and free range chicken can cost as much as three times as much as supermarket chicken, you certainly expect it to taste better and be more nutritious.
Sorry, but it's not.
From a report of a study published in the International Journal of Food Sciences.
organic poultry is actually less nutritious, contains more fat and tastes worse than its mass-produced equivalent, research has shown.
Tests on supermarket chicken breasts showed that organic versions contained lower levels of health-boosting omega 3 fatty acids than other varieties, including non-organic free-range poultry.
The compounds, present in high levels in oily fish, are thought to be responsible for a host of health benefits, from combating heart disease to boosting intelligence.
