Why are certain foods (bread, rice, eggs) healthier when brown than white?
In: 1
Brown eggs are not healthier than white ones. They’re also not necessarily organic, nor are all white eggs not organic. It’s just different breeds of chicken.
Brown rice and brown bread (made from brown flour) are whole-grain. The white versions have been processed to only use the starchy interior of the grain. This makes them easier to process and store (whole grains contain oils which can go rancid), and in the past they were often considered more pleasant to eat, but you lose a whole lot of vitamins and minerals in the process.
Brown sugar contains some remnants of the sugarcane while white sugar has been purified to pure sucrose. Afaik the remnants in brown sugar don’t have any health benefit, but some people like the taste.
