Eggs have been touted as “nature’s perfect food,” “one of the healthiest foods on the planet,” “nature’s multivitamin,” and most simply, “incredible!” After all, eggs are a good source of high-quality protein, they’re rich in healthy fats, they provide an array of essential vitamins and minerals, and they contain important carotenoids and antioxidants.
When it comes to buying eggs, you typically have two options in terms of shell color, white and brown.
Generally speaking, brown-shelled eggs are viewed as:
• Being more nutritious
• Having more flavor
• Having higher omega-3 content
Not everyone agree to this statement and lots of research has been made on the subject.
One thing that I have retained and found interesting is that studies have found that white eggs have a higher percentage of yolk that brown egg. This makes them contain a higher fat level and also a higher level of vitamin A.
On the other hand brown eggs have higher content of egg white which gives them a higher level of protein and a higher level of vitamin E.
The differences are so small, however, that it really does not matter whether you prefer white or brown.
A little trivial information is that by looking at the color of the chicken’s ear lobes, you can tell what color the eggs will be. For instance, those with white ear lobes produce white eggs.
So, get out there and check out the earlobes of the chicken you meet and tell me if in your area there are more of white eggs or brown eggs.
