What's the Difference Between Brown Eggs and White Eggs?
Some people are stuck on the idea that Brown Eggs are better for you than White Eggs.
Our family is more concerned about how the living conditions of the Hens and the food that they eat.
Remember the old saying "Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover"? Well this saying certainly applies to the colour of an egg shell.
Here are some facts:
Brown Hens lay Brown Eggs
White Hens lay White Eggs
We buy Farm Fresh Eggs - (and they just happen to have white shells) where the Hens are free range and eat a variety of grains. I simply cannot even think of eating an egg from a Hen that was fed a product called "Egg Maker", or was confined to a teeny tiny amount of space.
Our eggs cost us $4.00 a flat which hold 30 eggs and works out to be $1.60/dozen. Go to the grocery store and a dozen eggs will cost you at least $2.55 - and that's a cheap dozen!
I have got to tell you that the yolks on those Farm eggs are darker in colour, fluff up better when cooked and have a sweeter taste to them. Once you get hooked on those eggs, you will not be able to bring yourself to pull a carton off the grocery store shelf again!
***Ideally, we would love to have our own hens, however a new city by-law was passed a couple of years ago and prevents us from doing this.
Since I am not into upsetting the applecart and don't want to end up in Jail eating grocery store eggs, Farm Fresh eggs suit our family just perfectly!
