Difference between brown eggs and white eggs
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Eggs contain vitamins, minerals and essential protein and the inside yolk contain Vitamin D. Basically eggs are produced in two colours, white and brown.
When it comes to food, it is said that brown is better. Brown bread, brown rice, brown sugar, wheat pasta is known to be better and have more nutritional values than their white counterparts. Now, what about eggs? Does the colour of eggshell make brown eggs healthier than white eggs? What are the reasons for differences in the eggshell?
This article will explore the difference between these two types of eggs.
What causes the difference in eggs colour?
Genes determine the colour of the eggshell. White-feathered chickens with white earlobes lay white eggs, whereas red or brown feathered chickens with red earlobes lay brown eggs. Some breeds of chicken produce blue or green eggs. The Araucana, a chicken breed from Chile, and Lushi and Dongxiang chickens in China lays blue eggs.
The eggshell colours differ because of pigments the hens produce. Chicken eggs can be brown, white or even blue-green. The colour of an egg is determined by the breed of the hen that lays it.
Are brown eggs nutritious than white eggs?
Some people prefer brown eggs because they think that the brown egg is natural and healthier, some prefer white eggs because they think it is cleaner and tastes better.
The fact is that all eggs have almost equal nutritional values, regardless of size, and colour. Both the eggs are healthy food.
Scientists have compared eggs with brown shells and white shells to see if there is any difference. Several studies have found that shell colour has no significant effect on egg composition and quality.
This means that the nutritional value of eggs does not differ due to the colour of the eggshell. The only real difference is the pigment in the shell.
But the type of feed can affect the egg’s nutritional value, as well as its yolk colour.
Does the colour of eggs affect the taste?
Some people say brown eggs taste better while other prefer white eggs.
Taste of eggs differ just because of the nutritional content, there is no real difference between the tastes of brown- and white-shelled eggs.
Even though shell colour doesn’t make a difference, other factors such as the type of feed, freshness and how an egg is cooked may affect the taste.
Why brown eggs are costly than white eggs?
Even though brown eggs and white eggs are similar in all measures other than colour, brown eggs are still costlier than white eggs.
This is because brown feathered chickens have a big appetite. They are a bit bigger in size. So, brown feathered chickens eat more and hence are expensive to keep.
Therefore, brown shelled eggs are expensive than white shelled eggs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
