White and brown chicken eggs: which ones are healthier?
White and brown chicken eggs: which ones are healthier?

Which chicken eggs are healthier? Brown or white? Surely, everyone asks this question when buying chicken eggs. For some, brown eggs are the undisputed favorite, as they are supposedly healthier than the white eggs. Others argue that there is no difference, and you should not overpay only for the color of the shell. Let's try to figure out what is myth here, and what is the truth.

There are various rumors about the difference between brown and white eggs. Some people think that brown eggs are more useful because they contain more nutrients, others believe that they are tastier, and still others that brown eggs are more suitable for baking quiche cakes, and white ones are just made for cakes (or vice versa, it all depends on points of view). But the only difference between them is that the brown eggs are brown and the white eggs are white. It's all.

The content of eggs will be the same regardless of the color of the shell, moreover, they and the thickness of the shell is more or less the same. If there is a difference, it is associated with the age of chickens, and not with the color of eggs - in eggs laid by young hens, the shell is really a little thicker and stronger.

Rumors that brown eggs are more useful came from supermarkets: brown eggs often cost a little more, and if something is more expensive, then, logically, it is probably better, isn't it? Most often, just not so: increasing the price of one of the almost identical products is a cunning marketing trick.

The cost in the case of eggs is due in part to the fact that chickens that lay brown eggs eat more, which means that their content is more expensive and this must somehow be compensated for. White eggs most often carry hens with white or light scallops and light feathers, while brown eggs carry dark hens with reddish scallops. This is not always the case, just a general rule from which there are exceptions. So, chickens with dark scallops just eat more.

It should be noted that sometimes eggs really differ in taste, but it does not depend on their color, but on what the laying hens eat: nutrition affects the taste and color of the yolk - just the same diet affects the taste of meat of a cow or a pig. If two hens, one of which bears brown eggs, and the other white, feed on the same, then the yolk most likely will not differ in taste and color.
