ATHENS, Ga. — U.S. researchers say there is no substantial difference in the quality of organic and conventional eggs.
Researchers at the Agricultural Research Service in Athens, Ga., found the biggest difference between organic and conventional eggs was size.
Though brown eggs weighed more, white shell eggs had higher percentages of total solids and crude fat. The researchers concluded there was no significant difference in the quality of white and brown eggs.
Study leader Deana Jones said, on average, there was no substantial quality difference between the types of eggs.
"So, no matter which specialty egg is chosen, it will be nearly the same quality as any other egg," the study authors said in a statement.
