Question

What Kind of Yolk is Good?

Answer

The feed used in large-scale chicken farms contains less pigment, so which kind of yolk is good? Who would know? The nutritional value of red-shell eggs and white-shell eggs is the same. The distinction between red and white is due to differences in the breed of the chickens and the chicken feed. The feed used in large-scale chicken farms contains less pigment and is accompanied by white fish meal, so the eggshell appears white. Red chicken eggs are generally from backyard chickens, which are fed a more varied diet, and the feed contains more lutein, hence the red color. However, the color itself does not have nutritional value, so it cannot be determined from the eggshell which one has more nutrition.
