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).

Now that you know the difference between brown and white eggs check out this video and find out Why Cashews are Not Sold to Consumers in Their Shells and Why Pistachios Used to Be Dyed Red:

Oh yeah, right away. Probably more stupid than this video -- if that's even possible.
Cashews shells are almost corrosive acid. It’s nasty.
Pistachio dyed red? Hmmm it them Persians I bet.
I've also heard that white eggs got their color because they were bleached.. Is that so?
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.
@Whats the frequency Kenneth Alright then.. Thanks for the reply 👍
Interesting egg fact: American eggs are banned in Europe because they are washed; European eggs are banned in the US because they aren't washed.
There's actually a good reason for both :-) czcams.com/video/Xbqv1SuQJ0s/video.html
SlovesL yes, washed and then painted. If you only wash eggs they get rotten as they lose the protection layer. Is safer to have them with a little hen shit on top (no kidding!)
Roberto problem is that doesn't fix eggs with diseases already inside. Atleast in Europe we vaccinate all chickens to stop that from happening.
European chickens get autism from the vaccines.
FlappableBean I have personally been breeding chickens for their social skills for years now. My dream is to become the #1 breeder of talking chickens in the world. If they could beat me at chess as well, that would definitely be a plus.
My friend thought that brown eggs were from male chickens and white eggs were from female chickens...
He's a genius
That's hilarious. Did you explain that eggs are chicken periods?
God Emperor Lionel Lauer hopefully he found out male chickens dont lay eggs lol
hahahahaha you made my day
Andrew Asik are you sure that friend you're referring to isn't you?
The most interesting fact I learned today was that chickens actually have earlobes.

from where i am,
brown eggs are from chickens
white eggs are from ducks
Same here.
same in Malaysia
PhilGoodInc Wow
Where I work we have some white shelled but they don't seem to go to sale for some reason
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.
Eggs that are the freshest break out in a smallish round shape. Eggs that have a little age on them spread out more into, what did you call it, yes an amoeba shape.
TY for that info, the famer I went to used to sell out of eggs each day quickly & the amount of eggs for sale each day varried due to how may got laid. At least I know what accounted for their taste & shape now. TY again
Junior Sampals nope it depends on the chicken
Percy Barbarossa just a note, his ..the farmer where daily fresh. in the store, eggs are refrigerated for months before going to market. that is difference in color and taste. Todays egg or last months..
ok sure ill go walk 6 hours for a dozen of eggs next month... xD
Blue And Green eggs red and brown, and our most well known white! Colors don't matter, its all about how the chicken is raised and cared for, diet and lifestyle, a happy chicken will always give you the best quality. Support local farmers! :)
Well in South Africa we only have brown eggs
So brown is the most well known for us

Or because in England brown eggs are everywhere and I have never seen a white egg apart from on tv lol
Jordan The AllRound Angler in England, egg producers tend to use brown egg laying hybrids rather than the white egg laying Leghorn.
charlie that explains it then lol. I saw some blue eggs in a shop. How would thay come up with that?
Jordan The AllRound Angler blue egg laying birds like the Cream Legbar and araucana. I know Tesco use to sell Araucana eggs. But eggs come in all colours, pink, off white, cream, white, tan, chocolate brown, olive, blue, pale green, speckled...
charlie that's new for me. I have herd of speckled eggs before. I think it was Tesco I saw the blue ones in lol. 👍🏻
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.
Having grown up on a farm I can vouch this video is accurate. My grandma's chickens laid only brown eggs and they tasted better than the stuff you'd find in the grocery store.
But the video pointed out that "brown eggs taste better" is a myth.
Well that’s probably because your getting a much fresher better quality egg on the farm. The stuff in the grocery stores go through all kinds of processes and are fed differently.
@@cromtuiseagain it is, if they are from REAL FREE RANGE CHICKEN

I read this before looking at the video. smiled the whole way through lol
I found this out in 2015 when I worked at a grocery store, and while I was stocking eggs, I noticed the brown ones that I'd always overlooked as a customer, and decided I'd spring for the good brown eggs next time I was buying groceries, and they tasted the same as the white eggs I'd been eating for years.
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.
So odd, I was wondering about this at the grocery store today.
I couldn't help but notice that his head is shaped kinda like an upside down egg 😶
I thought brown eggs are better because my mom would buy white eggs and the first time I saw a brown egg was when I went to a fancy house, I was about nine.
Flabbymeat In the U.K, brown eggs are the norm. I've only seen white eggs once I think, it was a long time ago...
Joshua Osei yeah here in the netherlands to, white eggs are really difficult to get (and nobody wants them)
I think brown eggs are much more usual in europe...for example i have never seen a white egg, there are only brown eggs in my country
In Mexico I only see White eggs but I only visit there to see family. I live in the U.S.
a fancy house tho hahaha

I never see white eggs in the supermarket. Brown eggs are far more common in the UK

TheNellehFox for years I refused to eat brown eggs as they looked gross. In the US 99% of eggs are white and only recently with the introduction of organic feed chickens have eggs have brown eggs become more mainstream.

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.
Yes you are right the York tells it alot😅
so brown eggs are the Dr Dre Beats headphones of the egg world?
subversive775 No, white and brown eggs are the same, beats are worse than average headphone just becouse of the crazy amount of bass.
Beats are for rap (style) music, designed for that purpose and that purpose only. Just buy a cheap sony pair instead lol
buy Bose
subversive775 so they're overpriced pieces of shit?
Bose: The original Beats. Both make overpriced crap. The difference is that Bose products range from middling to mediocre whilst Beats stuff bad at best and more likely completely awful.
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.

Adam ruins everything is a joke. A liberal, left wing joke.
MatthewsGamingAdventure MGA Some lay blue tinted green eggs, but there aren't any distinctly blue or red eggs. The blues are extremely rare because they need to be laid by Green egg laying hens which are in and of themselves uncommon on a specific diet.

Hai Nguyen Nonsense!
Grace Norman You don't get it, do you?
Hai Nguyen funny 😏
Hai Nguyen I'm black and from the Caribbean.
I'm sorry to hear that. You lost life's lottery...
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.
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.
I only settle for freefall eggs. Freefall eggs are eggs which have never come to rest before landing in the and of the consumer. They are sold directly from the chicken.

We don't have white eggs at all in Ireland
Germany here.
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.
We have white eggs here in Sweden. I think they are often washed.
Iainbotham yes we do have white eggs in the entire UK they're just normally sold at a higher price and don't get stocked in all stores
According to this video, white eggs should be cheaper.
K Marx yes in the states in Europe white eggs are rather uncommon and like most uncommon things they normally cost more

I only buy FREE CAGE EGGS & are expensive in New Zealand. The other EGGS are produced from Chickens that are Caged in small tight cages and it's extremely desturibing to see. 😣😣 I love my chickens free.
I used to until I learned the differences. You want pasture raised 🤗
R RAHMAN free range chickens are not kept in tight cages. They run around a small fenced-in area where hundreds of chickens squeeze around to find food. More humane? Barely.
And some farmers shorten the beaks of cage free chickens, to reduce injuries caused by hens pecking other hens.
All the male chicks are still disposed of via blender.
I don't think they're expensive. Not compared to other unnecessary foods.
Don't mind..... Take it in a sportive manner.

I've never seen white eggs in Australia. All the eggs here are brown.
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.
philinator71 I have never seen brown eggs in my hometown in India. All eggs are white here.
living the high life in Australia - such a privileged existence with their brown eggs
haha, I am very grateful. :D
Most eggs in the Netherlands too (I'd say about 80% are brown).
Our perception of how something will taste can affect how we think it actually tastes. People who think brown eggs taste better might actually think they taste better, because they think it tastes better.
Yuuuuup
I think your response is stupid, so it is stupid because I think it is stupid.
I have a mixed bag of egg layers. There are many reasons to have different breeds of chickens such as cold hardiness, egg size, temperament, resistance to illnesses, etc.
I get the occasional white egg, but in general I get an equal number of brown, green, and a cream/peach color.
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.
Great information
Now on I will buy white eggs save more $ for my pocket

In Thailand every brown egg is a chicken's egg, and the white ones are duck eggs.
which ones cost more?
commenter78 it should be the chicken egg, if I'm correct duck eggs should have the smell of river water thus they are cheaper.
André Liu but the smell of river water is fresh, isnt that better than the smell of.... eggs?
André Liu i think you may be mistaken. At least in the usa chicken eggs are like $2 a dozen while duck eggs are between $6 and $12 a dozen.
commenter78 When I said I was curious about the taste off duck eggs my mother said it was not recommended... hence my assumption. Perhaps it changes dependin on the place.

Eli-akad over here there are only brown eggs.
+Destructocorps
Same where I live. That because most of the chicken farmers here keep brown hens and most are pretty free range feathered demons. I think the brown breeds are hardier than the white breeds which is why the brown eggs being the common one here.
As a youngster, white eggs were usually goose eggs. And more expensive.
Eli-akad did you like the green ones?
Mike Savage
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.
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.

Perhaps some heritage preservation poppycock? Probably the same fox hunting folks.
+PongoXBongo Yeah, genetic diversity and all that 19th-century imaginary, snake-oil, pseudoscience stuff. (You might want to check out some peer-reviewed science on that topic over the last couple of decades, e.g. Notter, D. R. 1999. "The importance of genetic diversity in livestock populations of the future." _Journal of Animal Science_ 77:61-69; many others, including some specific to poultry.)
Reflected Miles Relax, I'm no anti-science loony. Genetic diversity, and the preservation thereof, is very important. That being said it is possible to overcompensate by banning all non-native competition. Preserve samples, but let the fittest egg survive. ;)
+PongoXBongo
Not really, the brown hens are hardier than the white ones so farmers used those breeds for generations. They took less maintenance than the white ones when let loose to forage on their own.
It's the same in the part of Ireland I live.
Mike Savage The key part of the is the past tense. If they are no longer able to compete, phase them out.
you could say that brown chickens are more "peckish" that white chickens :3
cris rose that is a nice pun my man
cris rose Why are the brown chickens peckish? Racist much?

egg-scuse me? did you really just do that?
It was eggs-pertly done though!
Hey it’s that Quirkology channel guy! He finally updated his camera!
Eggcellent video!
All I ever see here in the uk is brown eggs. I had never seen a white one until about a year ago
It's how things are marketed.
I bought white eggs recently ( here in the UK) and they are more expensive that brown ones. Completely opposite of this video but the major upside was the taste was slightly better.
Egg conspiracy. Well, since you live in UK we'll make white eggs more expensive and brown less expensive. And the opposite in the USA. It's all marketing more than anything. The thing that makes either one taste different more than anything is feed.
Dude chickens only- must have been a lot more eggs when the hen showed up!
You missed the green eggs .... make a video about them
Fabian Kastilan Green eggs are great!!!
Yes!
But they taste exactly the same like white and brown eggs ):
They are blue not green
dark lord I don't think we're talking about the same thing.
I've seen a ton of colors of eggs
"Brown Eggs Are Better Eggs" was a marketing thing back while I was growing up.
half the time I get eggs, I get browns because of that
I know you from somewhere. Another channel infact, oh Visual Politik! Gotcha!
Brown eggs do jobs for a lower salary
*higher
Marcus Knak and better too
How come we never see white eggs in the UK?
Same, we never see white eggs in Indonesia.
Neither in Portugal, maybe not in Europe?
Who knows, maybe people are just stuck in their ways. I am used to white, always thought brown were different one way or another, but now i know and could care less which egg i eat. Some people are stuck in myths and never see things like this. Where i am from, there are both white and brown all around, but way more white eggs.
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.
Really? If seen them.
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.
Thank you for the actual information and Truth.
I, too, just learned that chickens have earlobes. Our birds were various and mixed breeds with combs and wattles of varied styles and colors, but earlobes were never mention. Interesting.
Living in Australia I aint never seen a white egg in person before...
same here in croatia.
Same.
.i live in Australia and I've seen plenty of white eggs because I get them from organic farms so they're most of the time white.
I live in the US, and I'm fairly certain these brown eggs are a myth, I have never seen them.
I'm french and had never seen a white egg before going to Germany. I remember the first time I opened the box and found out they were white, I was like, is something wrong with those? xD
it's funny because today i just found out this channel
I hope you like it. :-)
Me too! LOL :D
Today I found out that this channel isn't shit like pretty much every other channel that claims to present facts. These are actual facts. Some may be disproven in the future but until then they're facts. I'm glad I gave it a try after ignoring it for a few days. I gave it a chance because it didn't say something like '10 things...', etc.
Me too haha... XD
um the sides of your glasses are kind of trippy
This is exactly what I expected.
i got to wonder about the nutrition factor here. A farm fresh egg has a massive orange yolk, and the cheap commercial crap from the grocery has a small flavorless pale yellow yolk.
FutureLaugh the difference between the two is so small.. no reason to call economical produce crap
I've never seen a white egg
They're quite common in North America.
they're awesome!
where are u from?
Silmar Forbes Portugal
i see, i thought that you had some latino roots because of your name, here in central america, we have them both in every supermarket, they taste the same tbh.
I’m watching is at 3:25 am ffs 😂
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.
Amazing show and great content, I don't miss an episode. Keep up the hard work and the subscribers will flock over soon enough. One suggestion though, maybe change your profiles picture, but whatever you do keep the name it's perfect. Best of luck and keep racking in that CZcams money.
true, I long wanted to suggest a catchy profile and logo (and signation)
Ha, we were actually contemplating changing the name to something shorter like Erudition - "the quality of having or showing great knowledge or learning; scholarship." Bad idea?
The German word is "Gelehrsamkeit" and is very rarely if at all used nowadays.
My passive English vocabulary is huge, but I never, not even once, heard or read "erudition".
So the chance is that most non-native speakers will not even understand the title.
Try some other word :-)
I could think about it too, if you want.
While many people would know what Erudition means, most would likely find your current name more memorable.
Keep the name. T.I.F.O. is even a nice abbrevation
What? People raise the price on stuff so it must be better? wow I cant think of any billion, nearly trillion dollar companies that use this COUGHCOUGHAPPLECOUGHCOUGH, uh excuse me there
Spencer Chadderton Cough cough Intel
Yup, good old P.T. Barnum was right.
luxury goods have always existed for people who want flaunt "status"
HardcoreSolo As I said, old P.T. was right.
We raise chickens and have for many years. All of our chickens get the same feed. The darker the brown eggs are, the more orange, and better tasting, the yoke. Also, the thickness of the shell is different. The white eggs have regular shells, brown eggs have thicker shells. Black Copper Maran eggs are very difficult to crack but the best tasting.
I've always thought that many people assume that brown eggs are healthier because of the brown rice vs. white rice and white bread vs. whole wheat factor. Those examples have put an image in peoples' minds.
I have never actually seen a white egg in person, I live in the UK.
BrickMotion Shorts White eggs are American
I've seen both white eggs and brown eggs. I don't think that they are "washed" per se because I have seen white eggs in a nest.
***** Lol wtf
Bullshit.
Billy Mays Black eggs matter in the USA
Host's head looks like a white egg haha
I’m in Sydney Australia and it’s the total opposite here. I don’t think I’ve ever seen white eggs in a supermarket ever. It’s always brown. When I’ve encountered white eggs (from visiting a farm or given from friends w chickens) it’s always a bit of a novelty!
