    In this video:
    There are all sorts of rumours surrounding brown eggs and white eggs. Some people say that brown eggs are better for you and contain more nutrients; some people think brown eggs taste better; some think that brown eggs are better for cooking things like quiches, while white eggs are better for baking cakes (or vice versa, depending on who you talk to).

      I've also heard that white eggs got their color because they were bleached.. Is that so?

    • @billmonthy
      @billmonthy Před 5 lety

      White egg layers are usually just egg laying chickens which is why they are smaller such as Leghorns. Leghorns lay an egg a day very rarely missing a day. They are too small to make a descent meal out of. Brown egg layers like Rhode Island Reds are meat bird; they don't lay as many eggs but get big and are worth the effort to pluck, clean and eat. Brown egg laying chickens like Austrolorps, Comets, Orphingtons and Barred rocks are mixed they are big enough to eat and lay frequently, but except for the Austrolorps, not as often as white egg layers. There are chickens that lay pink, green, and blue eggs as well. It all depends on the breed.

    I used to buy brown eggs from a farmstand just outside Memphis TN, the eggs allways tasted better than those I bought in the supermarket, I paid the farmer the same price as the supermarket but all the $$ went to him @ least. Whatever he fed those chickens allways resulted in the yolks being a bit darker & significantly richer tasting , not only that but everytime you cracked 1 of his eggs to fry it allways came out in a perfect oval, storebought eggs allways make an ameoba shape when cracked & fried. Lesson : Allways buy your eggs from a local farmer. He puts pride in his product. & I allways bought my eggs from him for the 3yrs I lived there & miss getting the best eggs I've ever had.

      Episode Interactive All eggs are white to begin with, the brown pigment is like a paint that gets added. Egg taste is totally dependent on feed, not egg colour. Besides, nothing wrong with white eggs, they mainly come from Leghorns (which is an Italian breed), but there’s lots of breeds that lay different shades of white. Just clarifying that for you.

      4 years late but maybe you'll see it. You can get quite a few different colors. I have a few that lay green and blue eggs. They have ones that lay copper eggs too. There is also a chicken breed that has black skin. Ayam Cemani. I love seeing people's reaction to seeing a blue or green egg for the first time ever. I didn't even know about that until I started researching for what breeds I wanted to raise. lol.

  • @MrErdner
    @MrErdner Před 5 lety +7

    When we used to get eggs from a relative who raised truly "free range" hens, they were incredibly better than any store-bought eggs. Since the free range hens ate logs of bugs and other proteins, they yolks were bigger, darker, and better tasting than store-bought eggs. This made a noticeable difference when fried sunny side up or over easy with runny yolks, and no so much if scrambled or hard boiled. And when used in any sort of recipe, there was little or no discernible difference. The brown eggs I buy at our local grocery store, which are touted as "natural", tend to have flimsier yoke membranes, and break more readily when cracked into a skillet than the white "regular" eggs. I suspect it's the "natural" aspect, not the color that causes this.

    I haves to respectfully disagree here, having grown up on a small but fairly profitable farm that kept a little over 300 chickens at any given time I can say definitively that our brown eggs tended to have a much darker almost orange-ish yolk then our white eggs. Our chickens all had the same diet, drank from water from the same source, and got equal amounts of exercise and time outside. While I will agree that our brown egg layers tended to be larger and thus eat more then the white layers, our feeding system let all the chickens eat at will so this isn't as much as a factor as you might think.

    Sort of mentioned, but moreover, While I agree that it's the diet and well being of the chicken that makes better eggs, and the freshness of the eggs, I do not believe it costs more to feed brown egg laying chickens. There was a time in the US, we're still in it, but it's waning, when all commercial eggs were white. They weren't white because they were better, they were white because that's what the market wanted, maybe they looked cleaner, IDK. They were all about the whitest bread and sugar then too. But back when I was a kid in rural America in the late 60's and early 70s, Most stores would also buy some farm eggs from some of their farmer/customers and resell them in signed or stamped cartons. I worked in a grocery store then, and when these were put on the shelves, they sold out fast, especially from certain farms, very fast, many customers wanted cartons of these stashed and us to call them when we had good farm eggs. They were usually big, brown, free range, and fresh, with bright yellow yolks. We always had plenty of regular old commercial eggs too, we didn't have enough egg farmers to supply more than 10% to 20% of all the eggs we needed. But I have been to a commercial egg production "factory farm" too, and it's what you would expect; Chickens in box cages, in isles, stacked up, not enough room to hardly turn around in and I'm sure the feed is budgeted too, how to get the best return on every cent. And I believe if you raised brown egg layers in these conditions, you could also expect the same results with the same cents. We just got used to, in most of rural America, seeing brown eggs and knowing they were not commercial, so therefore better. However, I also have a few chickens at my farm that lay white eggs too, even though most lay brown, and they are just as good as the brown eggs here as well. I don't feed them differently either, but I really can't calculate feed costs. Even though they all get organic laying pellets, more in the winter, they also forage for plants and bugs while they wander a few hundred yards around my house, and are given garden culls and surplus too, making the majority of their feed free, and that's why their eggs are better -- no bottom dollar, pinch every penny per egg feed or lifestyle.

      You will find white and brown but brown is more common.
      At least for europe that could be linked to the eggs not being washed.
      White eggs often look dirty compared to brown eggs if you not wash them when they are actually the same. While that is no safety issue I would imagine that customers tend to buy eggs that look cleaner.
      Since in the US eggs are washed and white ones are cheaper to produce they are favored.

    When I was a kid (admittedly a while ago) white eggs were uncommon in New England. It was just a preference, I believe, for hardier breeds that could tolerate the cold. There was also an ad campaign a couple decades ago saying that brown eggs are local eggs and local eggs are fresh. While there is no longer a difference, I still buy brown eggs out of a 67 year old habit.

    @womanofsubstance8735 Před 6 lety

    I grew up on a small ranch where we raised our own chickens and ate their eggs. They did taste significantly better than store-bought eggs, but that was because of the differences in their diets. Our chickens were fed corn and laying mash but also had free-range access to grasses, herbs, and bugs normally available to fowl.
    Commercially grown chickens, even 50 years ago, were given only food designed to make them lay more and more eggs. The yolks were much lighter in color than our home-grown eggs, shells were thinner, and the whites were softer/runnier, partly due to the age of the egg when eaten. Eggs in stores are often 3 weeks old before you buy them.
    Incidentally, home-grown chicken meat also has more flavor but is less fatty than most commercially-grown chicken.

      Brown egg layers are often cold hard while the white layers are more hot weather hardy. Due to the larger body type of the browns if they are ranged with roosters, the roos are also bigger and can defend the flock better.

  • @christopherneelyakagoattmo6078

    I have been told by an Ag Scientist that brown eggs reflect more UV (a & b) spectrum light. Therefore, the nutrients that break down from UV exposure, such as vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, remain viable longer in a brown egg. They also do not dehydrate as quickly. The same holds true to a lesser extent with green and blue eggs.

      Some of my chickens lay white eggs we have a new layer she lays her eggs a 100g which is disconcerting but in a few weeks she will start laying normal sized eggs.
      Most of the egg farms use red/brown battery hens (slang for short life 1-2 years) here in Australia. A friend of mine came over for BBQ last week and brought a carton of eggs with him. So I showed him the difference between a Woolworths Egg and one that had been layed in my backyard.
      The shop egg add a fluorescent orange Yolk, a flat white and since it hadn't been in the fridge for a few hours it had started to smell like sulfur.
      The egg from my Chicken had a bright Yellow Yolk, a puffed up white and didn't smell.
      When the egg white spreads into a thin sheet in the pan it means the egg is more the a week old.
      If you want nicer tasting eggs it is better to know someone with chickens or have chickens yourself.

    It's all about diet in egg taste and quality. I've raised chickens for close to a decade and can say the egg color and taste thing is 100% false. I've got some white egg laying leghorns and brown egg layers of various breeds from barred Plymouth Rocks, hybrid layers, Jersey Giants and even green egg layers like Ameraucanas. I give them the same diet so they taste pretty much the same.

    My mom told my sisters and I (years ago) brown eggs were eggs that were fertilized (there was likely a rooster around the coop) and white eggs were not. And the bigger eggs have the greater chance of being "Double Yolkers". Otherwise, they all tasted good and were good for you and didn't really matter nutritionally.

    When I was growing up my father used to buy brown eggs because they more often had double yolks. We used to bake together and I witnessed it first-hand. This is no longer true. I've been buying brown eggs for about 2 years now and have not gotten one double yolked egg :-(. I'm really curious as to what has changed.

    I raise Chickens and there is a difference between organic and store bought eggs regardless of color due to their diet and how the chicken is cared for. One other factor is by the time you get the store bought eggs they are months old. I use mine within a month or less and if I have excess I give them away so we always have fresh eggs from our own chickens. Also I have chickens that lay Green and pale blue eggs as well. They too taste the same but I love how pretty they are :)

    • @TheLordoftheRavens
      @TheLordoftheRavens Před 7 lety +1

      +Dawn Moore But if you buy organic eggs in a store, they could also be old (at least I assume, I don't know why this would be different).

    • @danmoore6321
      @danmoore6321 Před 7 lety

      TheLordoftheRavens true. I made two separate comments. I believe there is a difference in taste ALSO...

    • @TheLordoftheRavens
      @TheLordoftheRavens Před 7 lety +2

      +Dawn Moore Well in your case, the eggs might very well be fresher than those in the store (i.e. eaten more immediately after they are laid). I'm sure that has an effect on taste. The chickens' differing diet would also be a factor, as you mentioned.
      I think the only problem with your comment were the labels of "organic" and "store bought," since these two groups are not mutually exclusive. You can buy eggs labeled as "organic" in a store. However, these are different than eggs that you get fresh from a farm (like yours), which many people unfortunately don't understand. In my previous comment, I was merely pointing out that organic eggs that you get from a store share some similarities with "non-organic" eggs from a store (and I used quotation marks because non-organic eggs are obviously not a thing; all food is organic if you use the actual, scientific definition of the word).
      So, to sum it all up, I think you should have used the labels of "fresh" and "store bought," because eggs labeled as "organic" are not necessarily fresh. And that's before I even get into all the issues with the label of "organic," which I touched on above.

    • @nobodyknowsanything3906
      @nobodyknowsanything3906 Před 7 lety +1

      *TheLordoftheRavens* It's splitting hairs a bit to say all food is organic, because I mean, by that standard technically, _nothing_ is inorganic, we just call it that. There's nothing humans can make that didn't come from nature at some point, because, since we can't just create new elements out of thin air, we only have what we find in nature to fiddle with. The "Organic" label is mostly to give the impression that a product has been grown in ways that are different from the majority of industrial food production methods- which is misleading because it's anything in a chain store is from the food industry, and changing any of a number of single factors can get the organic stamp, even if the food is nowhere near the "just plant a seed and water it" mental image most consumers have.
      It's a relatively meaningless marketing ploy, like adding "lite" to a product because they switched sugar for aspartame.

  • @Artbug
    @Artbug Před 7 lety +6

    Feather color has NOTHING to do with it, the only correlation is that the two main breeds for laying happen to fall into the "brown feather red earlobe" and "white feather white earlobe" category... However, beyond those two commercial breeds, within the hundreds of chicken breeds there are you'll find your correlation falls flat. The earlobe is the ONLY indicator. I'm surprised you didn't talk about all the other colors that chicken eggs can be - including BLUE. As a chicken farmer I was laughing so hard through all those myths, I had no idea people thought those things - it goes to show you there is a lot that people from all walks of life can teach each other.

    • @tiborpejic2341

      Because most of European chickens farmed for eggs are brown (incidentally most of the chickens farmed for meat are white). You could probably find a white egg on some family farm.
      As far as I can see the only myth still standing is that the white chickens are more economic.

  • @stephene.barbin8036

    Here in New England the brown eggs typically have a harder shell than the white eggs. I mostly buy white eggs because the thinner shell is easier to peel than the thicker brown shell. However, if I want to make soft boiled eggs to serve in an egg cup, I will buy brown eggs because the shell is sturdier for scooping and scraping the egg out with a spoon.

    I am in my eighties now so can remember a good way back! When I was a child, hens eggs bought in the shops were white. in fact I assumed that was the colour of eggs. Gradually, over the years the eggs produced commercially have become predominantly brown, I assume this is because the producers imagine brown eggs look more appetizing. - or will sell better! I agree with you, there is no difference in the taste or cooking qualities. Certain varieties of hen produce predominantly white or brown eggs.

    There is one more thing I have not seen mentioned. My best friend has chickens and sells the eggs. The color of the egg not only depends upon the ear lobe, but also the feet. He gave me green and blue eggs as well as white and brown. I was amazed until he showed me the hens. Some had brown, green or blue 'ankles' which was the determining factor in the color of the egg shell. When I got home, my step-children had green eggs and ham of course!
