菜园鸡蛋



今早在菜市场的对白

我: auntie, 为什么这个鸡蛋是白色的?是鸭蛋还是鸡蛋?
妇人: 你真的不懂啊?
我:是啊,不太清楚。
妇人: 那是菜园鸡。
我: 暗想“ 哦,是哦。 怎么那么笨,好想找个洞钻,躲起来’。

Color of Egg Shells

Egg shell and yolk color may vary, but color has nothing to do with egg quality, flavor, nutritive value, cooking characteristics or shell thickness.

Shell: The color comes from pigments in the outer layer of the shell and may range in various breeds from white to deep brown. The breed of hen determines the color of the shell. Breeds with white feathers and ear lobes lay white eggs; breeds with red feathers and ear lobes lay brown eggs. White eggs are most in demand among American buyers. In some parts of the country, however, particularly in New England, brown shells are preferred. The Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire and Plymouth Rock are breeds that lay brown eggs. Since brown-egg layers are slightly larger birds and require more food, brown eggs are usually more expensive than white.
