🥚 What is the red dot in the egg yolk?

 🩸 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.

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.

That whitish, rope-like strand is called a chalaza.

    It’s made of protein

    It holds the yolk centered inside the egg

    It’s a sign of freshness, not spoilage

    It disappears when cooked

In short

    🔴 Red dot = harmless blood spot

    🤍 White strand (chalaza) = freshness indicator

    🍳 Egg is safe to eat if it smells and looks normal

If you want, I can also explain how to tell if an egg has actually gone bad or how egg freshness is tested.
