COLOR, SIZE AND GRADING
Are white eggs better than brown eggs? No. "Egg color is a distinction not of quality, but of chicken variety," according to chefs Gayle Pirie and John Clark, authors of Country Egg, City Egg. Brown eggs are produced by reddish-brown hens and white eggs by white hens. The older the hen, the larger the eggs it lays. Large Grade AA eggs are produced by hens at least a year old. Eggs are graded on the thickness of their
egg white. Grade A eggs have slightly thinner egg whites than Grade AA.
Grade B are substandard in egg white thickness and rarely found in grocery
stores.
