What is the little white bit in an egg?

MYTH: The little white string attached to some egg yolks should be removed before you cook them. Sometimes when you crack an egg you might notice a small, white, string-like thing attached to its yolk. These white strands are called “chalazae” and they help hold a yolk in place, keeping it in the center of the egg.

Why do you remove the Chalaza from egg?

Suppose you just want the egg yolk for whatever you’re cooking. Yolks are mostly used for making puddings and other recipes like that. So it’s quite important to leave the chalaza out of the yolk. This will help avoid a rough texture.

When cracking an egg, there’s really no need to remove the chalazae. They’re OK to eat, and once cooked, the strings disappear. It won’t interfere with cooking, unless you’re whipping up custard or curd, in which case the eggs should be strained for an extra smooth texture.

Why do egg yolks have white spots?
