The choice doesn’t seem difficult, but when a customer in a store is asked what kind of eggs to give – brown or white – everyone hesitates with the answer.

There are also those who buy only colored eggs, since the price is the same.

Let's try to figure out if there is any sense in all this.

What is the question?

A couple of circumstances give rise to doubts.

Firstly, if brown and white eggs are the same in their properties, then why are they sold in different trays?

Secondly, if there is a difference, then why are the prices for the products the same?

Colored eggs - where do they come from?

The color of the eggshell depends on the breed of chicken. It is believed that white-shelled eggs are laid by white hens with a light comb.

To get brown eggs, you need to get birds with dark feathers and a red comb.

Which is more useful?

Unfortunately, the color of the shell does not affect the composition and nutritional properties of eggs.

These figures depend solely on what the owners fed their chickens.

But among gardeners there is an opinion that the shells of brown eggs are more useful for the soil than white ones.

Previously we talked about how to remove wine stains from clothes.
