Many people buy only brown eggs, believing that they are healthier than white ones.

We'll tell you why there's no point in overpaying for brown eggs.

What color eggs are best to buy?

The color of the shell, in turn, depends solely on the color of the chicken's plumage. White hens lay white eggs, speckled ones - brown.

Why do brown eggs sometimes cost more? It's all about the banal exploitation of an established stereotype.

For reference

Egg is a common food product.
