Boiled Eggs, Brown, or White? does it matter?

i hear that some chickens are fed different grain .. some farmers use the more high protein grain .. like your local farmers that sell there eggs that are usually brown would have a more richer nutrients than the eggs that are produced on huge farms ..

It is true that "an egg is an egg" insofar as shell color is concerned (although no self-respecting New Englander would even look at a white egg (yuck! :eek:

However, there can be as much as a 50% difference in vitamins, protein, and fat content based on what the chicken was fed. Huge chicken "factories" that feed "egg-laying" pellets tend to produce eggs that are lower in vitamins & protein and higher in fat, and the yolks are almost always a sickening light yellow color (If you've only eaten store-bought eggs, you probably didn't realize that yolks are NOT suposed to be yellow..)

Small farm/homestead raised chickens that have access to natural grasses, bugs, and scratch feeds (chickens are actually "woodland" birds) tend to have higher protein in the whites, lower fat in the yolks, and the yolks are ORANGE.

Again, this is NOT a brown egg/white egg difference, it is a mass-produced/home-hatched difference.

And don't anyone dare say anything different, because I raise organic chicken eggs.... and I know where you live....:D
 
Benchpress59 is right on the money,diet for the chicken is the key to a better egg.
Eggland's best brand eggs have higher Vitamin E and Omega3 fatty acids and lower cholesterol levels in their yolks and are in most stores.
 
i eat brown eggs almost everyday, the yolks are alot darker and they seem to be alot more fresh. These are fresh of course and not store bought.
 
I eat brown eggs or "yard eggs". I get more than I can eat for free. Life in the country is great.
