Cracking the Myth: Are Brown Eggs Healthier than White? Experts Weigh In on Egg Nutrition
For generations, supermarket shoppers in Thailand and worldwide have puzzled over a simple question: Should we choose brown eggs or white eggs for better health? Recent research and input from leading dietitians make it clear—the difference lies not in nutrition, but in detail. According to a new report and recent expert interviews, the color of an egg’s shell has little to do with its health benefits or taste. Instead, it depends almost entirely on the breed of the hen that laid it—a fact that is often overlooked in popular perception. Understanding the real science behind eggs is crucial for Thai consumers seeking to make healthy and cost-effective choices in their diets, especially as food prices rise and health consciousness deepens across the country.
