Over here, most women prefer white eggs over brown. As said above, an egg is an egg!
Are you sure about that
Choosing
brown eggs over white eggs in the supermarket may happen because you might not be aware of the differences between white eggs and brown eggs. Perhaps you were told that brown eggs are more nutritious. This information has been circulating for a long time and many will argue that the nutritional value of brown eggs
is far greater than white ones. But is this really true?
Nutritional Value of Eggs
It is not surprising that almost every household has eggs in the refrigerators. Eggs are considered to be healthy foods because they are a powerful antioxidant. They are also rich in many nutrients, such as foliate and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, lutein and vitamin B12. Furthermore, you will never be bored cooking eggs, as there are over 100 ways to cook them according to professional cooks and chefs. Among the different dishes are omelets, quiches or simply serving them scrambled or sunny side up with a dash of salt and pepper.
Brown Eggs and White Eggs
The color differences in eggs are simply from the breed of the hens they comes from. Brown eggs are laid by larger red-feathered hens with red earlobes, and white-feathered hens with white earlobes produce white eggs. When it comes to the nutritional value, however, brown eggs are more or less the same as white eggs. Brown eggs may have a higher content of omega 3s than white eggs, but the difference is so tiny that it is really insignificant when measured.
The Taste Difference
Some may claim that brown eggs are tastier than white ones. However, others will argue that there is no difference in taste--just as there is no significant difference in nutritional value between the two colored eggs. If you are really interested in the taste difference, you could experiment by blind folding a member of your family or a friend and have them taste the two eggs cooked the same way. The probable result is that no one will be able to taste the difference.
The big difference you will notice from white eggs and brown eggs are their prices. White eggs tend to be a lot cheaper than brown ones. Furthermore, some egg producers try to label their brown eggs as “special†in order to validate a higher price tag.
Choosing the Healthier Egg
If it is really the health nutrients in eggs that you are after, then the organic variety is the best choice to go for--regardless of the color. The hens that produce organic eggs are fed with certified organic grains. These grains are free from pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
The Egg Nutrition Center affirms that the nutritional value of eggs is determined by the type of feed given to the hens. Therefore, if the same kind of feed is given to both white and brown egg-laying hens, the nutritional value of the eggs produced will be the same.
So now you know the difference between Brown and White eggs
.......I MEAN AN EGG IS AN EGG !
