During breakfast prep, I almost threw out an egg after spotting something strange inside—but what I discovered changed my mind.
After a normal grocery trip to our trusted local store, I cracked open one of the eggs the next morning. Inside, I saw small, jelly-like white lumps. “It didn’t look very appetizing,” I thought, unsure if the egg was spoiled.
But experts say these clumps are usually harmless. They’re often “deposits of either calcium or protein” that form naturally during egg development. They’re more likely to appear if hens are stressed or fed nutrient-rich diets, especially those high in calcium.
In short, these little lumps aren’t a sign the egg is bad. They’re a natural and safe byproduct of the way some eggs develop.
