It’s completely safe and natural.
Why do some eggs have a more visible chalaza than others?
Fresh eggs have thick, prominent chalazae. As eggs age, the chalazae dissolve and become less visible.
Is the chalaza a sign of a fertilized egg?
No. The chalaza is present in both fertilized and unfertilized eggs. It has nothing to do with fertilization.
Can I eat the chalaza?
Yes. It is edible, safe, and nutritious. You can leave it in or remove it, depending on your preference.
