My Encounter With Eggs

Eggs are one of the world's most popular foods. It is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. I remember when I was still in college, it is what I usually eat with rice or sometimes noodles. Why? Because its the cheapest food I can buy with my weekly allowance. It is also easy to prepare. Sometimes I just have it boiled, scrambled or sunny side up. When I'm in the mood to cook I saute it with tomatoes and onions.

In the Philippines, the eggs we usually buy and available in the market or even in a small store is usually having white shells.

So when I arrived here in Italy I was amazed and surprised because the eggs here are brown and they have markings and an expiration date marked on it and on the box.

Brown eggs and white eggs are equal in terms of nutritional contents. The color of the yolk depends instead on the hen’s diet. If the hen is fed plants rich in xanthophylls (such as alfalfa or yellow corn), the yolk acquires a darker color. As with the shell, though, the choice of the feed is driven by the customers: North America prefers lemony-gold yolks, whereas Italy and most of Europe prefer dark yellow and deep orange yolks.source

I wrote about eggs today because I cooked some for breakfast and lunch. Lol!
