Araucana eggs from six sources and commercial type white eggs of two major supermarket brands and from the University of California flock were collected and analyzed for cholesterol content of the yolk. The yolks of Araucana eggs were significantly higher in cholesterol than those of commercial white eggs. Tables show mean weight of eggs and egg parts, the cholesterol content of the yolks, and the lipid, nitrogen, and total solids of the yolks.
