White yolk

[Nimloth]

I just came back with a salad from Rebecca's Cafe and one of the eggs that's in it has a white yolk(?!).

This is the first time I see one. Please tell me if it's ok to eat.

Yeah, but who knows maybe it's been dyed yellow all this time.

racist!

what does white or yellow have to do with it??





j/k, that's weird...i wouldn't eat it.

 

[Nimloth]

Threw it out...

Maybe it was a mutant egg, that would have had super powers if it hatched!

It's probably a yolk sac, but no yolk, very rare (more so that double yolks), it's probably fine to eat as long as you cook it.

The yellow color is due to red, yellow or orange pigments called carotenoids.
One well known carotenoid is beta-carotene, which is a precusor to vitamin A.
There are hundreds of different carotenoids. Carotenoids are found in virtually
all plant parts. Highly colored fruits and vegetables often contain high levels
of carotenoids. Examples include apricots, carrots, tomatoes, peaches and corn.

The main carotenoids in egg yolk are lutein and zeaxanthin.

Plant leaves contain orange to yellow cartenoids that are masked by green
chlorophyll. However, the chlorophyll of deciduous leaves degrades in the fall
and reveals the yellow or orange carotenoids.

Perdue chickens have a yellow skin because their diet includes marigold petals,
which contain carotenoids.

There was probably nothing wrong with the egg. That chicken was probably just vitamin deficient.

Hmmm...

Depends on how it smelled. If it passes the smell test, I would take a nibble. If it passes the nibble test, I would probably eat it.

But I don't think I've ever seen one.

 

[Nimloth]

I actually took a bite and it tasted a little sour, that's why I looked at it. Otherwise I don't usually look at my food when I eat it.
