What are brown eggs?
Eggs come in many colours - white, olive, pink, green and brown too. The colour of the shell isn’t determined by the diet, lifestyle or sun exposure of the hen - but by its breed.
Simply put, hens from different breeds lay differently coloured eggs - some of which are brown. So the next time you pick out an egg or a dozen, think about what’s inside, and not what’s on the outside!
What is the difference between brown and white eggs?
White eggs and brown eggs are very similar in taste, nutrition and protein content. More than the colour, we believe that the lifestyle and diet of the hens that lay them have a greater impact on what’s inside.
Some studies have even shown that hens that bask in the sun more often lay eggs with different nutritional content - which is why our queens at Farm Made Foods enjoy the outdoors as much as they please!
Is brown egg protein any different than the protein in white eggs?
Knowing the amount of protein in an egg isn’t just about the colour - but so much more! Our hens at Farm Made Foods enjoy balanced diets with no additives, plenty of exercise, and natural activities like perching and foraging for seeds and grains. Studies have shown that hens that enjoy enriched environments have naturally enriched eggs - free-range eggs are better not only for you, but the hens and their eggs too.
Are brown eggs better to eat than white eggs?
Both brown and white eggs are healthy and packed with protein and nutrition. The quality of care hens receive, however, plays a much larger role in egg quality than colour alone.
Look to free-range eggs, spacious farms, all-natural diets, lots of love, and a royal lifestyle for eggs that are truly better - for you, for the hens, and for the planet.
Are brown or white eggs more beneficial overall?
A brown egg’s benefits are similar to a white egg’s benefits. They share similar nutritional content, have close to equal amounts of protein and vitamins and are good choices when it comes to a healthy diet.
If you’re looking to elevate your eggs, look at factors such as the size, which part to eat - the yolk, or the white - and the overall health of the hens that lay them. All of them come with different and unique benefits, such as the protein in egg whites being different in quantity from the protein in only egg yolks.
Are free-range eggs good for health?
free-range eggs are great for our health, and the health of the hens that lay them. Our pastures at Farm Made Foods are large and lush, with no room for overcrowding, and plenty of fresh air. This means our hens are healthier and stronger.
Because our queens are happy, they lay eggs that are full of goodness. free-range eggs can supplement muscle growth, improve brain function, and even boost your own immunity - all with a healthy dose of protein, minerals, vitamins and calcium.
