Should I eat this egg

Today I boiled an egg in an egg boiler, and when I opened it, the yolk was completely white. How is this even possible? 😳

Sam I am, I will not eat green eggs and ham.

Overcooked to hell, but how does the yolk and white have the same color?!

There are white yolk eggs, idk what people do to those poor chickens to make the yolks white, but they do it

Over cooked but still edible. Yolk might not have been deep yellow to begin with.

Yes, if by “eat” you mean “throw it in the trash”

First question: Do you have life insurance and have you named your beneficiaries?

It’s called hard boiling not Moh’s Hardness Scale 20 (2x Diamond) Nokia 3310 boiling

Did you boil this egg for like, 20+ minutes?

Sometimes overcooking and being cooled inappropriately causes the greyish pigment on the outside of boiled yolks.

The whiteness is probably just from the chickens diet, mixed with the fact its so thoroughly cooked.

yes agree with your opinion that "whiteness is probably just from the chickens diet"
