       The appearance of red or brown spots inside a raw egg often frightens consumers, evoking associations with the development of an embryo. However, these concerns are unfounded. The specks are purely a physiological defect that occurs during the formation of the product in the bird's body. They do not signal spoilage and do not change the chemical composition of the yolk or white. The main cause of such spots is the rupture of small capillaries in the hen's ovary or oviduct. When a vessel breaks, a drop of blood can get onto the forming yolk. This can happen due to the age of the bird, genetic features, or seasonal vitamin deficiencies. Notably, brown shells often hide such defects more frequently, as they are harder to illuminate during sorting at production. Specialists confirm that products with such features are completely safe to eat. Thermal processing makes them absolutely safe, and a microscopic clot does not affect the taste quality in any way. For those who find the appearance of the speck unpleasant, it is enough to carefully remove it with the tip of a knife before cooking. To avoid other problems while cooking, it is worth studying clever hacks for checking product quality in the store. "When a vessel breaks, a small amount of blood may get into the yolk. Such eggs are safe for humans," explained dietitian Albert Godin.

       Besides appearance, cooks are often concerned about difficulties with peeling the shell. There is a simple trick that allows you to keep the white perfectly smooth after boiling. The main thing when choosing eggs is to watch for the integrity of the shell and the absence of a sharp smell, as these factors, not colored spots, indicate real health hazards.

       Earlier, we wrote that a discovered red spot in the yolk poses no threat and is not a sign of an embryo. According to dietitian Albert Godin, this is the result of a rupture of a microscopic vessel that nourishes the yolk sac. Such specks are more common in adult hens and do not affect the freshness of the product. Experts recommend removing the clot with a fork if it causes aesthetic discomfort.
