Brown or white: which chicken eggs are considered healthier, and why they cost differently
Brown or white: which chicken eggs are considered healthier, and why they cost differently

Everyone who purchased or at least cooked eggs probably paid attention to the fact that they come in different shell colors: white or brown. Are these eggs somehow different from each other? Perhaps others have even heard from others that brown eggs are much better than white ones. Is it really?

There are those who even argue that brown eggs are more natural, more rustic, and therefore more correct and healthy. In fact, there are only two differences between brown and white eggs - this is the color and price itself. We'll talk about the price later, but for now, about the color characteristics. So, the color of the shell, in turn, can be influenced by two factors - the color of the plumage of the chicken and the feed that the bird eats.

The fact is that white chickens actually lay mostly white eggs, but brown chickens, as a rule, lay brown eggs. With all this, the taste, the thickness of the shell, as well as the set of nutrients and vitamins does not change in any way in two varieties of chicken eggs. Moreover, they don't even differ in nutritional value.

Now for the price. Brown eggs are really more expensive, but not at all due to the fact that they have some unique qualities, but due to the fact that the chickens that carry them are more fleshy and larger, which means they consume where more feed. For this reason, the overpayment is solely for the chicken nutrition. It is interesting that such myths about chicken eggs are widespread not only in Russia, but also in European countries, as well as in the United States. I wonder who is their source?
