🍳 Fun fact: The chalaza contains the same protein as egg white—just more concentrated.
What It’s NOT (Common Myths)

❌ Not a baby chick – Unfertilized eggs (which are all store-bought eggs in the U.S.) can’t develop into chicks.

❌ Not a sign of spoilage – It’s present in every healthy egg.

❌ Not harmful – Totally edible and nutritious.

The Bottom Line

Next time you see that “white squiggle,” don’t scoop it out in fear.

Celebrate it! It’s proof your egg is fresh, whole, and perfectly designed by nature.

So go ahead—cook it, scramble it, fry it. That chalaza? It’s just doing its quiet, anchoring job… right up until your first delicious bite.

“Nature doesn’t make mistakes. Sometimes, it just makes things we don’t understand yet.”
