5 Egg Facts That Actually Matter
1. Are brown eggs or white eggs (or blue eggs) more nutritious?
Short answer: no.
The color of an eggshell is determined by the breed of the hen, not the nutrition of the egg. Brown eggs are laid by breeds like Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks. White eggs come from breeds like Leghorns. Blue eggs come from Americanas, Legbars, and other "Easter-eggers". Green eggs come from a hen that was born from the union of a blue egg laying chicken and a brown egg laying chicken.
