Are blue eggs, from Ameraucanas and Araucanas, lower in cholesterol than white and brown eggs?
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.
