A lot of people are still laboring under the  mistaken idea that brown eggs are more nutritious. I know that that is the prevailing thought in Costa Rica. White eggs are practically non-existent here and when you do find them they cost about a quarter more than brown eggs. This is what the USDA has to say about it.

I remember an advertising jingle that was local in nature (local being New England I think) from my childhood that went:

🎵  Brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh! 🎵

 

so  if you're a certain age to remember that little song, maybe the subliminal message makes you reach for the brown eggs!

I mainly use duck eggs and must confess I prefer to buy those with the green-tinged shells, even though I know there is no real advantage to doing so. They are the same price as the white ones.

 

Now emu eggs are a different story! They are beautiful.
