hello.
soooo i sell eggs by the dozen at my work. a very good friend of mine usually eats one a day. she hardboils it etc.
well me and some other co-workers are sitting in the break room having coffee etc. and my friend with the egg adds salt and pepper , take a seat next to me and bites her egg. it was green inside.

....i was so embarrased. have no idear why! she eats one everyday too! she threw it in the trash. why did this happen. she did not over cook it.

strange. i was embarrased.

You mean there was some green color around the yolk of a hard boiled egg?? That is normal for an egg that has been over cooked. It is normal. (If anything it is a user error.)

It's really likely that your friend just over-boiled the egg, but if you're certain she absolutely didn't overcook it, maybe it could be this:

I read something in a book the other day that a hen's diet will affect the color of her egg yolk. The book said that possible causes for a hen's egg to be green inside could be that maybe your gal took a bite out of some acorns or shepherd's purse, if stuff like that grows in your area.

But it doesn't say anything about green eggs being bad to eat or anything.

So not to worry.
