Which eggs are healthier - brown or white

The beneficial properties of brown and white chicken eggs are the same.

Brown and white eggs differ only in the color of the shell.

And it depends on the color of the chicken's plumage. Brown eggs are laid by chickens with dark plumage, white eggs - by chickens with white plumage.

What really matters is the chickens' diet and the conditions they live in.

This means that you need to choose eggs from hens that are well looked after, and the color of the shell does not matter.
