Eggs are a good source of protein because they contain unsaturated fats and essential nutrients, including vitamins B6, D and B12. Eggs come in two shells, white and brown, and many people tend to believe that brown ones are healthier and more natural. Are you confused about which one to choose for your diet? Denying a popular belief, celebrity chef Kunal Kapoor reveals that both white and brown eggs contain almost the same amount of nutrients. In an Instagram Reel, the chef explained that the color of the eggs is determined by the chicken’s feathers. “A chicken with brown feathers will hatch brown eggs, while a chicken with white feathers will hatch white eggs,” he said.
According to Kunal Kapoor, people should only consider the freshness of the eggs. He advised people to buy only those eggs that are kept in the refrigerator. “If kept outdoors, it’s best to avoid,” he added. Watch the video here:
If the nutritional profile of both eggs is similar, why are brown eggs expensive?
While both white and brown eggs are the same in all factors except their color, the cost of brown eggs is higher.
According to Healthline, the difference in price is one of the reasons many assume that brown eggs are healthier and higher quality than white ones. But the reason behind the rate is that brown laying hens are larger and lay fewer eggs than those that lay white ones. So the price of the brown is kept higher to make up for the extra cost.
Do white eggs taste different than brown eggs?
White eggs and brown eggs taste the same. Any change in taste is not due to color. Instead, it can be affected by a myriad of reasons, including the freshness of the eggs, the cooking method, and the chicken’s diet.
