Eggs can provide good intake of protein, fat, vitamins and minerals for our bodies.
Eating eggs has many benefits, you know, namely protecting the eyes, maintaining brain and heart health, so that it is good for metabolism and reduces inflammation in the body.
Oh yes, there is an opinion that the orange part of the egg yolk is healthier than the pale egg yolk. Is that true, huh?
Approximately, what makes egg yolks different colors?
Causes of Different Egg Yolk Color
Egg yolks contain calcium, phosphorus, zinc, vitamin B1, vitamin B12, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin D, and vitamin K.
In egg yolks, there is also a high choline content, which can meet 60 percent of the body’s choline needs.
There are also carotenoid antioxidants, namely lutein and zeaxanthin. Antioxidants are good at fighting free radicals that can damage cells in the body.
In egg yolks there is also fat, most of which are good fats, namely omega 3 fatty acids. And there are unsaturated fats.

Well, the different color of egg yolk is apparently influenced by the intake consumed by the hen.
According to nutritionist Bonnie Taub-Dix, the food consumed by hens greatly affects the yolk color.
He explained, if chickens eat food from plants that contain a yellow-orange dye, the egg yolk it produces will also be more orange.
Does Egg Yolk Color Affect Its Nutrients?
Although the color of a hen’s yolk is influenced by the food intake of the parent’s diet, different colors don’t affect the nutrition of the egg, my friends.
The United States Department of Agriculture study showed that egg yolk color did not affect the nutritional value of eggs.
All egg yolks of various colors contain less water, more fat, and less protein than egg whites.
Then, the other contents of the egg yolk that Bobo mentioned earlier remain the same, my friends.
On the other hand, the type of food of the hen can also affect the nutrition of the eggs.
Sourced from The Kitchn, several studies have found that eggs produced by hens reared using the “pasture-raised”Contains omega-3 fatty acids and higher vitamins and lower cholesterol.
Chickens are raised by method pasture-raised this means that the chickens are grazed or raised by spending more time in open pastures.
The content of eggs is more nutritious because the chickens also get food with healthier and more natural nutrients.
So, in conclusion, the thing that can affect the color of chicken egg yolk is the color substance content in the hen’s food.
Meanwhile, what affects the nutrition or nutrition of egg yolks more is the nutrition from the hen’s diet.
If you want to get healthy nutrition from eggs, you can eat egg yolks and egg whites.
Of course, eggs are healthier if they are processed in a healthy way, especially eggs must be cooked until they are cooked so that the bacteria in them can be eradicated and are safe for us to consume.
