Eggs are our favourite foods in the kitchen! And very healthy for us. But we should be more careful before eat  eggs. Time to get egg-ucated.

Whether you prefer fluffy scrambled eggs, or you like them hard-boiled, eggs have become a staple in the American diet. Aside from just tasting delicious paired with some toast and a coffee, they are packed full of nutrition. Eating eggs helps with reducing cholesterol, lowering the risk of heart disease and they contain quality protein, all while being low in calories. But some eggs may look a little different than others, like having a spotted or bumpy shell, which may deter you from eating them. We’re here to crack the code for you before you crack your next egg. By the way, this is why brown eggs are more expensive than white eggs.

2What does it mean when there are spots or bumps on an  egg?
You may have noticed that some eggshells are discolored with dark brown spots. This is known as a “speckled” egg. These dark splotches are created early in the process as the egg is traveling through the  hen. As the egg passes through the oviduct (the organ that processes the yolk and adds the shell), it spins. If the egg spins too slowly as it moves along the tube, it can end up looking a little speckled.

You may also notice a bumpy egg or two in the carton you just brought home from the grocery store. The “bumps” just mean the eggshell has some texture to it rather than being completely smooth. This also occurs in the oviduct as the egg passes through the hen. There may just be some debris in the tube as the shell is being formed. Debris in the oviduct is more common in older hens or younger hens who don’t receive enough nutrients. When this happens, calcium is released which encloses the debris in the shell.

Is it safe to eat speckled or bumpy eggs?
The short answer is yes. There is certainly no need to discard any eggs with either of these physical abnormalities—it’s also safe to eat expired eggs as well. The part that matters the most when it comes to egg safety is how you cook them, as the biggest fear surrounding egg safety is salmonella, a group of bacteria that causes food poisoning. While it may not necessarily be salmonella, look for black or green spots inside the eggshell. This may be a sign of bacteria or contamination.
