What is the difference between white chicken eggs and brown ones and which ones are better to buy?

The color of chicken eggs is determined by two factors – the breed of the laying hen and its diet. Most often, the determining factor is the breed of chicken.

Yes, in Wyandotte chickens, eggs are usually brown, and in Leghorns, they are white, but there are exceptions.

The saturation of the color depends on the diet of the chicken. As for white eggs, this is almost visible, but brown ones come in different shades – from beige to very dark.

This happens when the bird's diet lacks certain amino acids. But this does not affect the nutritional value of the egg, so choosing eggs based on the color of the shell is not worth it.

Many people believe that brown eggs are healthier than white ones, but this is a myth. They do not differ in terms of nutritional content and taste.
