The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has affirmed that there is no significant nutritional difference between brown and white eggs. The shell color of an egg is primarily determined by the breed of the hen, with factors such as age, genetics, living conditions, illness, and stress potentially influencing the shade. While brown eggs are often more expensive, this is typically due to the larger size of the hens that lay them, requiring more feed, according to Medical News Today.
