Do you eat white or brown eggs? You’ll look for differences in vain

Do you love eggs prepared in lots of different ways? Maybe soft-boiled, in an omelet, scrambled, and so on. That makes sense—after all, they’re a key ingredient in many dishes and often a perfect delicacy. Plus, preparing eggs in all sorts of ways isn’t particularly difficult. There are two colors of eggs on the market. You can choose between brown and white. Do you know the difference between them? No? Well, we’ll reveal it to you in the following paragraphs—and we’ll also share the perfect recipe for soft-boiled eggs.

Don’t believe the myths—there’s only one difference

There are many different myths associated with egg color. For example, some people think that brown eggs taste much better than white ones. But these are just opinions and personal preferences. The only difference between the eggs is that white eggs are laid by light-feathered hens and brown eggs by dark-feathered ones. It’s that simple.

Tip: Pickled eegs in beetroot wine. Thats delicious.

The color of an egg simply has no effect on its taste

The color of eggs is therefore in no way related to their taste. Eggs of both colors have the same nutritional value and the same content of beneficial nutrients and trace elements. There is perhaps one other difference: the price.

How to make the perfect soft-boiled egg

It’s not very difficult. But you need to follow the right procedure. It’s very important to take the egg out of the fridge well in advance of cooking it. Ideally, you should allow 15 minutes. This will let it reach room temperature comfortably. For cooking, you’ll need a medium-sized pot with enough water to cover the eggs. Add half a small teaspoon of salt per liter of water. This strengthens the shells and makes peeling the eggs easier. Heat the water in the pot until it comes to a boil. Then let it simmer gently. Next, gently lower the eggs into the water one by one using a spoon. Cook them for 4 to 5 minutes. Once removed, place the eggs in a bowl of ice water, where they should remain for about 1.5 minutes. Then they’re ready to eat.
