Hen and the Vegetarian Diet
A hen is a mature female chicken, known for its role in producing eggs and, at times, being used for meat. In culinary terms, hens are typically less tender than younger chickens, such as broilers or fryers, and are often used in dishes that require longer cooking times to tenderize the meat, such as stews or soups.
