🩸 What does blood in an egg mean?
It does not mean the egg is fertilized
It does not mean the egg is spoiled
It does not affect taste or safety
Blood spots are actually more common in very fresh eggs and in eggs from free-range or non-industrial hens.
âś… Can you eat an egg with a red dot?
Yes, absolutely.
The egg is safe to eat
The blood spot is harmless
You can remove it with a spoon if it bothers you, but you don’t have to
Cooking the egg fully eliminates any concern.
🤍 What about the white stringy spot near the yolk?
That whitish, rope-like strand is called a chalaza.
