Brown stuff in egg?

[cheitz20]

Hi, not sure where exactly to share this post, but I was wondering if anyone has an idea about what this brown stuff is in this egg? I’ve gotten a few like this before.

I believe they're typically called meat spots or blood spots. Basically, a blood clot or a few intestinal wall cells get adsorbed into the egg as it forms. When we had those from our chickens, we'd usually just scoop them out and still use the egg yolk for cooking.
Someone kindly correct me if I'm wrong here.

I've never been able to scoop them out.

I don’t even bother, they taste just fine.

Agreed. I mean, blood pudding is a thing, right?

You would discard the whole egg white?

Not the whole egg white, but just the same as you use a piece of eggshell to scoop out a fragment of eggshell you scoop the spot out with the eggshell. Or a spoon if you're skilled. If you're not good at it you might end up tossing half the egg white.

Season the eggs with coarse ground black pepper. You'll never see the blood/meat spots when you do that.

It's not worth the 2 minutes it takes to try and fish them out.
