No. The color of the shell is determined by the breed of hen. Both brown and white eggs are equally as nutritious.

No. Eggs are eggs, however brown eggs are often better in flavor than white eggs. It is not the eggs but how they are raised that makes the difference. Commercial growers usually have White Leghorn chickens which are superb egg layers with good feed conversion/body weight. Leghorns lay white eggs. The chickens are kept in a highly controlled environment and usually never see the light of day.

These are meat spots which are pieces of tissue from the hen’s reproductive tract. Meat spots do not harm the egg. Eggs with large meat spots are removed during the grading process.

No. This is a very common question because years ago some hatcheries claimed that these eggs were reported to be lower in cholesterol and higher in nutritional value than other chicken eggs. William O. Cawley, Extension Poultry Specialist at Texas A&M University, wrote a paper, POULTRYDOM'S MYSTERY CHICKEN - THE ARAUCANA, 10/79, that sets the record straight.

No, chemical analyses have shown little difference in the nutritional content of fertile vs. nonfertile eggs.

Brown shelled eggs are bigger than white shelled eggs because they are produced from a dual purpose breed (eggs - meat) that is larger in size (6-7 lbs.) than a Leghorn breed that is smaller in size (3-4 lbs).

The nutrient content is the same in fertile eggs as non-fertile eggs. Typically, they are more expensive due to higher production costs.

Brown rice actually has some advantages over white rice and we prefer for people to have brown rice on most occasions, unless white rice is the only option. White rice starts out as brown rice, but after the husk, bran and germ are removed, then the starchy core, or endosperm is left. Brown rice has had just the outer husk removed, which is inedible, and because the bran and germ remain, the brown rice has 3.5 grams of fiber per cup of cooked rice, vs. 0.74 grams left in the white rice.

In general, white eggs are laid by chickens with white ear tufts and brown eggs are laid by chickens with red feathers and ear tufts. There is a particular breed that lays blue eggs although their ears are not blue- so go figure.

Common table sugar is 99% sucrose. Honey, on the other hand, is composed of glucose, fructose, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants and oligosaccharides. Although relatively low in nutrients compared to other foods, honey contains more nutrients than table sugar. The major nutritional benefit of honey is the benefit of a concentrated source of energy with 100g of honey providing 304 Kcal, or 10.9% of the USDA Recommended Daily Intake (RDI).

There is all the difference in the world. White rice has been processed and refined which strips the rice of all nutrition. It makes the cooked rice soft, fluffy, and pleasant to eat. "Enriched" white rice is a joke. The manufacturer has replaced some vitamins in the rice, but it is not the same as the original. Eating white rice has a negative effect on most bodies. Whole grain brown rice is just what it implies.

Answer: The culprit is thrips. Thrips are tiny insects that suck on rose petals, turning the petals brown. You don't see this discoloration on red or pink roses, but it shows up clearly on white blooms. You have two choices: live with the discoloration or spray a mild insecticide directly into the bloom just before it opens. The thrips are not on the whole plant, so don't spray anywhere except into the center of the soon-to-open bloom. Each bloom gets one spritz of insecticide.

Pure heroin is usually white. Street heroin is usually brown from impurities and adulterants. However there is no way to guage heroin purity just from looking at it.

Approximately two thirds of the sheep on Hirta are dark (including black) and one third are tan or buff colored. The majority of these are wild-type or mouflon pattern, with white belly, white rump patch and often white markings around the eyes and under the chin. This coloration is one of the Soay's primitive characteristics. These coat colors suggest an evolutionary sequence beginning with wild sheep (with mouflon markings) and ending with advanced modern breeds which are typically white.

While the traditional whole egg delivers a variety of important nutrients, it also contains 5 g of fat, 75 calories, and a hefty dose of cholesterol—about 210 mg per large egg—all of which is found in the egg yolk. In contrast, Egg Beaters Original is actually more nutritious than traditional whole eggs. By eliminating the yolk (except in With Yolk and flavored varieties), all of the fat and cholesterol and more than half of the calories are cut out.

Answer: White bread and whole grain breads are not the same thing. When white flour is milled, the outer bran layer and the germ are separated. The germ is taken off because it contains fat. When the fat in the germ turns rancid, the flour is ruined. The bran is removed because it is coarse in texture, brown in color and has flavor that some people do not like. However, bran is where the fiber is located and is lost during the milling process.

It is naturally white, cause Ash is an albino. Through most of the story, it stays dyed brown for the sake of appearing more 'normal'. Actually, no, that didn't happen. You (and Soshi) jumped to conclusions. Ash avoided the accusation, but never denied or confirmed it.

Original DOG Kibble is 50/50; SEN (Senior) Kibble is 60/40; and LMR (Lamb, Millet, Rice) Kibble is also 60/40.

Brown rice has only the hull removed. It may be eaten as is or further processed into white rice. Cooked brown rice has a slightly chewy texture and nut-like flavor. The tan color is caused by the presence of bran layers which are rich in minerals and vitamins, especially the B-complex group, which may help prevent heart disease and strokes.

The wheat grain consists of three parts: the endosperm, wheat bran and wheat germ. Wholemeal flour is made using 100% of the grain - all 3 parts. It retains all the natural nutrients resulting in a flour which is rich in fibre and containing B vitamins, iron and a range of other minerals.

Chickens are just like people in that, generally, a white chicken will lay a white egg and a brown chicken will lay a brown egg, but they're pretty much the same on the inside. Technically, it has to do with the color of the chicken breed's earlobe, but most folks don't get close enough to the chicken to look. Since we feed all of our chickens the same high-protein all vegetable feed, there is no nutritional difference between a white or brown egg.

YES! Potatoes are a low calorie, fat and cholesterol free vegetable high in vitamin C, potassium and a good source of vitamin B6 and dietary fiber. Visit the nutrition section of www.healthypotato.com for more information.

Yes! Pork is full of the nutrients needed for good health‹proteins, vitamins and minerals. In addition many pork cuts today are very low in fat, cholesterol and sodium. Pork has a very low allergenic quotient.

The Miniature Schnauzer was developed to be an identical version of the Standard Schnauzer. The Standard Schnauzer has never come in the white color. Our history of the evolvement of the breed indicate that there probably were introductions of other breeds to reduce the size of the original breed. The originators of the breed recommended not breeding the whites and parti-colors that appeared. This was to preserve the breed as it was intended.

In the US, this is just refined sugar with some molasses added back in. The US food law says that only refined sugar (no raw components) can be sold with this name. This law may actually have more to do with enforcing a similar taste for both sugar beets and sugar cane, since the beets, when unrefined, have a poorer taste than cane sugar. Another type of brown sugar is called "Piloncillo," a Mexican brown sugar which is semi-refined granulated sugar.

It may take longer to cook, but Brown rice certainly has its nutritional benefits! Brown rice is significantly higher in fiber, with 1.6 g per half cup compared to .03g in the same volume of white rice. As a complex carbohydrate, brown rice provides a slow, steady supply of glucose that will help regulate one's blood sugar levels. Get Cooking... top of page
