Bongiorno dispels misconceptions surrounding the colour of the shells: neither of them healthier nor more "natural," nor more eco-friendly than the other. There aren't any differences in nutritional quality, flavor, or cooking characteristics.
Bongiorno points out: "The color of the shell is merely a reflection of the breed of the hen. In general, but not always, hens with white feathers and earlobes lay white eggs and those with dark feathers and red earlobes lay brown eggs.
It may be surprising to learn that not all eggs are brown or white. For example, some rare chicken breeds, such as the Araucana and Ameraucana, lay blue and blue-green eggs."
