Mrs. Bandit and I are in an egg share with local organic farms, so we've had all colors/types. White, off-white, yellow, blue, green, pink...and they all taste exactly the same The thing to look for, IMO, is the color of the yolk--it should be a deep, dark orange, which is indicative of a hen that's foraged for insects and worms. Equally as important (or moreso IMO) as yolk color (which can be influenced by a variety of diet-related factors, some of which have no bearing on the overall quality of the egg, aesthetically or nutritionally), is yolk composition ie: the definition between yolk and white...does your yolk stand up in the pan surrounded by the white, or does it flatten out? Does it break when you drop the egg from the shell and leak out into the white or does it remain intact? Is there a membrane-like film surrounding the yolk which contributes to its structural integrity? Is it hard(er) to incorporate the yolk and the white when you whip them in a bowl to make scrambled eggs? The more intact, firm, and distinct your yolk is from your white is to me the surest sign of a good egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working the counter at my dad's restaurant one morning. I was a naive teenager and this old farmer comes in and sits down. Me: What can I get you? Farmer: Two eggs please Me: How would you like them cooked? Farmer: Staring at me like a naked lady Me: Farmer: Sunny side up boy!

As someone who is not supposed to eat yolks because of cholesterol I wonder how much difference on taste of the white part of the eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seized the opportunity and had green egg and ham. True story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasons1992 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 TBD now is influencing my egg purchases.......... I was in Kroger yesterday morning and of course could have bought the 89 cent dozen whites........but went with the $3 organic free range brown because of THIS thread. They were good.

Why do people insist on cluttering my mind with this nonsense? No, the color of the egg has absolutely no difference on the yolk and contents. There's actually a chicken that lays black eggs Blue eggs are blue on the inside and outside But the rest are all white on the inside. It is something that chickens have put on to the eggs as they lay them that is supposed to be linked to Natural camouflage in the wild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
