Sure, you care about animal welfare. But when you’re trying to feed your family, taste has to remain at top-of-mind.
After all, if nobody will eat the food you’re serving, there’s no point in buying it!
Fortunately, pasture-raised chickens taste amazing. You’re going to love the difference in taste and texture. Plus, there are some hidden nutritional benefits too.
How does diet contribute to the flavor of pasture-raised chicken?
Chickens raised in feed lots get a steady diet of grains, antibiotics, and not much else.
Meanwhile, pasture-raised chickens eat all sorts of things, just like nature intended. They peck at bugs and worms. They gobble up seeds. They nibble on grass.
The result is a complex, pleasing flavor that is worlds away from the bland “chicken” flavor you’re used to.
How do living conditions contribute to the flavor of pasture-raised chickens?
Exercise is good for you, and it’s good for chickens too.
They develop their muscles. They enjoy better circulation. The result? Rich, juicy meat.
The chickens are also living the way they’re meant to live. That means they’re not stressed out all the time. The meat isn’t getting soaked in a steady wash of stress hormones, which makes a big difference when the chicken makes it to your table.
If you find store-bought chicken to be a little bit “mushy,” the lack of exercise is the reason why. If you prefer a firmer texture, you’re going to love pasture-raised chicken that much more.
Are pasture-raised chickens more nutritious?
Absolutely.
Pasture-raised chickens are demonstrably higher in Vitamin A and E. They’re also higher in omega-3s.
They’re also up to 52% lower in saturated fat, which means they’re a heart-healthy choice.
They’re higher in iron and essential anti-oxidants, too.
