Is there a difference in the nutritional value between brown eggs and white eggs?
Eggshell colour can vary but it has nothing to do with the quality, flavour, nutritive value, cooking characteristics or shell thickness of an egg. The eggshell colour depends upon the breed of the hen. White shell eggs in Canada generally come from Leghorn hens while brown shell eggs are generally produced by Rhode Island Red breed of hens. Rhode Island Red hens are slightly larger birds and require more food. Additional food costs and a smaller supply tends to make brown eggs more expensive than white eggs.
