NEW YORK (PIX11) – Some shoppers are willing to pay a premium for brown eggs – but are they better than white eggs?
Brown eggs aren't inherently healthier than white eggs, according to farmers. It actually costs more to keep the brown egg-laying hens well-fed, farmers said.
They said the cost and taste of the eggs are based on what and how much the hens eat.
A dozen brown eggs can start at $4.50 and go up to $10. A dozen white eggs are about $2.50.
