When the egg is rotated, you may notice the yolk and chalaza move slightly.
It’s a clever little piece of natural egg anatomy that most of us never think about.
🥚 Can You Eat the White String?
Yes.
The chalaza is edible and harmless when the egg itself is safe to eat.
You don’t need to remove it before scrambling, frying, baking, or making an omelet.
It may look unusual when you first notice it, but it doesn’t need to be picked out.
In fact, if you’re making a cake or other baked recipe, you can simply mix it right in.
🚫 What Does a Bad Egg Actually Look Like?
The chalaza isn’t the thing you should be watching for.
