Do different colored eggs have different nutritional values? Do they taste different?
No, different-colored eggs have to do with the species of hen that laid the egg and doesn’t affect nutritional content or taste. Conventional factory-farmed chickens have been bred for certain traits, in this case the ability to as many eggs as possible to maximize production. Colored eggs indicate that they’ve come from a “heritage breed,” or an older variety of hen that has more genetic diversity. There are over 60 heritage breeds of hens that lay eggs in varying shades of white, brown and blue.
