Tag: Colored eggs

According to the USDA, the color of an eggshell, whether white, brown, blue, or green, is determined solely by the genetics and breed of the chicken, not its nutritional content. This means the shell's color has no bearing on whether a colored egg has cholesterol or not, a common misconception that this article will address directly.

Despite common assumptions, studies have shown that there is no substantial nutritional difference between white and brown eggs. The notion that colored eggs are healthier is a long-standing myth, with the truth being that the shell color is determined solely by the breed of the hen.
