White vs. Brown Eggs

What is the difference between a white #egg and brown 🥚?

•

Nutrition? ❌

•

Taste? ❌

•

Quality? ❌

•

Chicken’s feather color? Not necessarily.

•

Chicken’s ear lobe color? 💯 Seriously. The genetics of the #chicken determines what color her eggs will be. 🐓’s with red ear lobes tend to lay brown #eggs. Chickens with white ear lobes tend to lay white eggs.

•

When it comes to #nutrition, one large🥚 (whether white or brown) will provide you with 6g high of quality #protein, an excellent source of B12, Biotin, Iodine, and Choline. All of that for just 70kcals.¹

•

Why are brown eggs more expensive? The breeds that lay brown eggs tend be larger in size, so they require more food. THAT should be the only reason why brown eggs may cost more 💰.
