brown eggs
Darker breakfast shells
Brown eggs are eggs with brown shells, laid by certain breeds of hens.
They're nutritionally identical to white eggs, but many consumers perceive them as more natural or wholesome.
The color comes from pigments deposited during shell formation and has no bearing on flavor or quality: The farmer's market only sells brown eggs.
