[Rasel Ali]

As part of a healthy diet, eggs have a reputation as a nutritionally complete food. There are eggs of different colors, the most common are brown and white eggs.


The breed of the hen, and the synthesis of pigments during egg laying, play an important role in the color of the egg shell. Some nutritionists believe that white eggs generally has more nutritional value than its brown counterpart.

It has been determined that the protein content of white eggs is about 0.74% higher than that of brown eggs, and the content of vitamin A, vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 in white eggs is slightly higher than that of brown eggs.

The fat content of brown eggs is 1.45% higher than that of white eggs, and the cholesterol content is 0.85% higher than that of white eggs. In supermarkets, however, brown eggs are slightly more expensive than white eggs, probably because the yield of brown eggs is lower than that of white eggs.
