There has already been much discussion and debate about the differences between brown and white egg colors. Some people think brown ones are healthier and tastier. Others believe that white ones are meant for baking pastries and cakes. Today we’ll tell you how it actually is!
White and brown eggs
Eggs are very nutritious
They contain beneficial vitamins, minerals and proteins. Frequent consumption of eggs has a positive effect on hair quality and on the overall condition of the body. One egg contains on average 80 calories.
Cholesterol in eggs has a positive effect on the body
It is found in the yolk and is balanced by lecithin, which is a substance that helps process fat and cholesterol.
Cooked eggs are more beneficial
Harmful salmonella is often found in raw eggs, but it can be destroyed by heat treatment.
White eggs are less useful than brown ones
Contrary to popular myth, there is no difference in them. It is only about what breed of hen lays them. The color of the shell depends on the color of the hen. In speckled eggs their color is brown and beige; white hens lay the aforementioned white eggs.
Home-raised eggs are healthier than store-bought ones
Home eggs should be stored at the correct temperature for no longer than 7 days after being laid. Commercial eggs are stored for at most 25 days.
Eggs should not be stored next to foods with a strong smell
Due to the porous structure of the shell, eggs can very easily absorb odors. So if you don’t want to eat an omelet with an unusual aroma, store them separately.
