This morning, I woke up and decided to make fried eggs. When I cracked an egg into a plate, it came out with this white ribbon-like thing attached to it. I instantly lost my appetite.

edible, safe, and nutritious. You can leave it in or remove it, depending on your preference.

How do I remove the chalaza?

If you want to remove it, simply scoop it out with your finger, a spoon, or the tip of a knife. It’s not necessary, but you can do it.

Should I be worried if I see a white string in my egg?

Can the chalaza cause health problems?

No. It’s just protein.
