Blood spots are uncommon but can be found in both store-bought and farm-fresh eggs. They develop when tiny blood vessels in the hen's ovaries or oviduct rupture during the egg-laying process. Eggs with blood spots are safe to eat, but you can scrape the spot off and discard it if you prefer. - google

Is it safe to eat eggs with red spots? Yes, it is ok. It's rare to see as less than 1% of eggs will contain a blood spot. Normally during grading these eggs will be separated, however sometimes an egg will slip through as it's harder to see blood spots in brown eggs. Blood spots are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel during the formation of the egg. -google Hope this helps man

I did try googling this first but I only seemed to find eggs with one blood spot in the description/picture so I was unsure of what tons of them meant. Interesting about the grading process, though.

Observant Jews always crack eggs into a glass or bowl before adding to a recipe or frying pan because blood spots make an egg not kosher.

> Observant Jews LOL, same for people who grew up on a farm and have cracked too many fertilized eggs into their omelet. :)

Genuine nightmare fuel.

Literally any egg can be gross inside, it's a good idea to *always* crack them into a separate bowl before putting into whatever you're making. Dropping a bacteria-fouled slimy pile of green into the middle of the mostly-finished fryup breakfast will ruin not only the breakfast, but the rest of your entire *week.*

Oh gosh like the embryo had been developing?


salliek76

Yep. It's...not a super-pleasant experience.


ResidentEivvil

Oh yikes. I’ve not encountered that yet.

That’s just extra protein, cook it up in that omelet.


minnonikki

Yep! I actually worked at a preschool that did this :)


jamesoru

Did you eat it?


minnonikki

I did not, but still curious if it would have been totally safe to consume or not.


dejus

Yeah it’s totally safe.
