Today's Tip: Brown Eggs or White?

Are brown eggs are better than white ones?


Brown eggs come with a higher price tag (they can cost up to 20 percent more), and look quite wholesome, but bottom line is, they have the same nutritional breakdown as the white kind. They simply come from a different breed of hen.

If you are in search of the "best egg", put your extra dollars toward omega-3-enriched eggs, which can deliver more than 600 mg of these heart-healthy fats, compared with the 30 mg provided by the regular kind. Or if you cook with olive or grapeseed oil, include flaxseed, walnuts & salmon in your diet, or take an Omega-3 vitamin supplement, you can go with the less expensive, plain old white egg. :)
