What happens to eggs with white threads in the yolk? Here's what an expert says.

This protein has been studied extensively and it has been determined that it provides many nutrients to the body, such as vitamins A, E, B2, niacin, iron, zinc, selenium, biotics, pantothenic acid, choline and phosphorus.

In addition, it is one of the foods most consumed by those who exercise regularly to supplement their protein requirements.

Before eating an egg, you've probably noticed that when you take it raw out of its shell, you can sometimes see a white "film" or fiber that connects the white to the yolk.

Miguel Assal, a first aid expert and social media influencer, has dedicated a video on his Instagram profile to explaining what this tiny thread is, which many people dismiss out of mistrust.

"This isn't chicken sperm, nor is it a fertilized egg," the expert explains, referring to a video in which those who graborn it say they will remove this thread and not eat it.

This small tissue is called a chalaza , and according to nutrition experts, it determines whether the egg is fresh or has been around for a few days or weeks.

This part of the egg is not always visible, but it is determined that those eggs in which it is observed were laid recently.

This substance is completely natural, and there's no need to worry if you see it; on the contrary, it will show you that the egg you're about to eat is completely fresh.

The chalaza is a structure found in animal eggs and plant ovules, which serves to fix the yolk in the center of the egg.

It's important to have a storage option for eggs. Some keep them in the refrigerator, while others store them in containers outside the refrigerator. The important thing is to verify that they are safe for consumption.

When an egg is spoiled, it has a bad odor and may even change color. These eggs should be discarded immediately.

If you see a red stain when you open it, it could be chicken blood that has ended up in the hen's ovary or fallopian tubes, caused by ruptured blood vessels. This egg is safe to eat and does not pose a health risk, according to the Vitonica website.

Other people say that to know if an egg is fresh or not, they mention that you have to put it in a container with water.

If it sinks, it means it's fresh, but if it floats, it means the egg is close to spoiling, according to the website 'Academia Nutrición y Dietética'.

This is why you should always check the condition of this food and do not wash it, as this removes a protective layer that covers the egg.

If any residue or dirt is found, simply wipe it off with a damp cloth.
