1, the nutritional composition is somewhat different.
Eggs are rich in protein, and high-quality protein accounts for a large proportion.

In terms of nourishing, quail eggs are better than eggs, which has a certain effect on preventing asthma, lung disease and other diseases. Eating quail eggs can also play a role in skin care and beauty.

The fat content of eggs is slightly lower than that of quail eggs, with 9.5g of fat per100g; In terms of vitamin content, the vitamin B2 content of quail eggs is higher than that of eggs, while the vitamin D content of eggs is higher than that of quail eggs.
However, in terms of other kinds of vitamins, there is not much difference between eggs and quail eggs, only in the individual vitamin content; In terms of various mineral contents, the calcium content and zinc content in eggs and quail eggs are basically the same, and there is no essential difference, but there is a certain gap in iron content. The iron content in eggs is lower than that in quail eggs, which is only 1.8mg per 100g, while the iron content in quail eggs is between 3.6mg-4. 1mg.
There is a great difference in appearance.
In terms of volume, eggs are much larger than quail eggs, and the color of eggshells is mainly flesh-colored, with a small amount of cyan. Quail eggs are small, generally only 10g, with brown spots on the eggshell. Because of its small size, children can eat more quail eggs at a time.
3. In terms of output
From the cost of raising hens and quails, the cost of raising quails is higher, and the yield of quail eggs is lower than that of eggs, so the market price is higher.
In short, there is not much difference between eggs and quail eggs. You can choose to buy according to your own situation.
