brown or white eggs

     So recently I was in my local grocery store to buy some eggs. To my dismay, they were out of the white eggs. Now, I was left with a decision to get the brown eggs or go home egg less. I decided to get the brown eggs. I did read other opinions and nutritional information that compares the two eggs. They are the same thing. So here is my opinion comparing the two:

Similarities:

• shape and size
• taste and smell
• when the eggs are peeled or cracked, the yolks and the whites are the same color

Differences:

• white eggshells are easier to crack and peel
• brown shells are thicker than white shells
• brown shells will break into smaller pieces when cracked or peeled

    I prefer the whites eggs simply for the "crack-ability." Do the test for your self and decide which one you like the best. Good news is, if my store is out of eggs, I can grab the brown eggs instead!

***HELPFUL TIPS***

I try to shop on sale and try to get the best quality food possible for my family. When I buy eggs, I prefer to get organic but, that can be expensive. The next best option is to get "cage free/ free range" eggs that are grass fed. But you can use this tip with any eggs you can afford. What I like to do, to prevent my eggs from spoiling fast, is to coat them with mineral oil. As soon as I get home, I will cover them in the mineral oil and date the cartoon. The longest my eggs have lasted is 2 months. The short time is due to eating them, however, they can last about 6 months or longer. There are other ways to preserve the eggs but I have not tried those. It is also said they DO NOT need refrigeration when coated. They can be stored in a cool place and will hold for months. I am to scared to try that for myself. If any one tries other methods or experiences different results, please let me know!
