Eggs are a cheap and tasty product that perfectly saturates the body with useful elements and satisfies hunger for a long time.

But it happens that when you break an egg into a frying pan, you can notice a red spot on the yolk.

Naturally, your appetite may disappear immediately.

Some even believe that this is evidence that the product is not of very high quality. Some say that such eggs cannot be eaten.

But there is no need to be afraid.

First, we need to understand the issue.

The thing is, it's just a blood clot that appears when the yolk is formed.

The presence of these spots does not indicate that the chicken is feeling unwell. This is usually an accident caused by genetic predisposition or vitamin deficiency in the bird's body.

The defect does not pose any threat to human health and does not affect the taste of the product.
