Why do brown eggs taste better than white eggs?

[techs]

Supposedly there is no difference. But brown eggs do taste better than white eggs.
Why is that?

 

[HannibalX]

They all taste the same to me. I've had fresh farm eggs, "organic" eggs from the store and regular white eggs that are sold basically everywhere.

 

[PepePeru]

that's news to me.

 

[Linflas]

The only way I would accept that as true is if a true blind study was done where people could consistently pick out which cooked egg came from a brown egg vs white egg.

 

[waffleironhead]

you are eating a different breed of egg?

 

[Vette73]

Thats ain't from no chicken

 

[TwiceOver]

I don't know if they taste "better", but I have noticed they are "grainier" for lack of a better term.

Don't know if I could regularly pick them out of a lineup, but I would be willing to try.

 

[spidey07]

Because they have chicken sperm in them.

That grain you taste is called a fetus.

 

[Leros]

Because you're racist?

 

[Epic Fail]

You are an eggcist!

Speaking as someone who grew up around farms and helping out on his uncle's farm, there is no difference except that foolish people who grew up in cities will pay more for brown eggs and then swear there's a difference so they don't have to admit they paid more for no reason. Also, the breeds which lay brown eggs tend to be larger birds that eat more and therefore cost more to raise, which increases the price of brown eggs slightly, but not enough to account for how much more brown eggs cost in supermarkets.

Now, locally-raised eggs, whether white or brown, will generally taste different than commercial eggs because locally-raised chickens tend to have a more varied and less bland diet, which affects the flavor of the eggs as well.

Brown eggs do not taste different than white. To me at least, and I have a fairly distinguishing palate.

The only difference I've noticed is taht the yolks on "cage-free" eggs seem to break very very easily, while a typical Large White will hold together. Seems the stress of cage-life makes em tougher.


I'm reminded of Hannibal Lector describing breastfeeding. "Toughens the nipples" (creepy lector sound)

Yolk weakness is usually a sign of age(time since they were laid). In my experience free range egg yolks are more yellow than store bought ones.
FWIW, I raised buff orpingtons and barred rock's as dual purpose chickens.

AH! So I had me some old ass eggs then..........

Brown eggs come from a chicken's butt.

 

[Vette73]

chicken breeds with white ear lobes lay white eggs, whereas chickens with red ear lobes lay brown eggs

 

[GuitarDaddy]

They don't actually taste better, your just tasting the excitement created by taboo

Now aren't you ashamed for crossing over to the dark side and tasting the forbidden fruit? Once you've had brown, everything else is a letdown

 

[Nitemare]

reverse eggism?

Brown eggs contain higher levels of placebin, that's also why they have greater health benefits. In some studies they are just as effective as aspirin and ibuprofen for curing headaches.

 

[Kyteland]

Because they have chicken sperm in them.

Do you honestly think the shells turn brown because the egg was fertilized?

City folk.

It's all in your head. There is no difference.

The flavor of eggs are influenced heavily by the diet of the chicken.
