Some people are afraid to eat chicken eggs with blood, and this is completely in vain.
A spot of blood in an egg is not a cause for concern, experts say.
What does a blood drop in an egg mean?
The blood spot is caused by a ruptured blood vessel in the chicken's reproductive system when the egg is being formed.
The egg itself also contains tiny blood vessels that can burst.
Approximately 2-4% of eggs contain blood spots, sometimes there are several blood spots in the egg, but this is not a reason to throw it in the trash.
Moreover, blood stains can be easily removed with the tip of a knife or the tines of a fork.
