Why are some egg yolks orange and others yellow: which ones are better to eat

It's no secret that eggs can have both yellow and orange yolks.

Traditionally, it is believed that eating eggs with orange yolks is most beneficial for the body, but is this really true?

Culinary expert Yulia Arkhipova sheds light on the solution to this dilemma.

According to the expert, both types of yolks contain certain microelements that are essential for humans, but there is one caveat.

This is worth remembering.

Orange yolks contain higher amounts of carotenoids (lutein and zeaxanthin).

However, in reality the difference is not critical.

In addition, according to the expert, the color of egg yolks directly depends on what exactly the chicken ate.

Thus, a more saturated orange color is obtained if the bird was fed bright yellow corn, paprika and alfalfa.
