Why do white eggs have less blood spots than brown eggs?
I am a shliach in a place where I could only find brown eggs. It seemed that 1 in 3 had blood. I did some research and found out that most of what you think is blood is not really blood but other particles. I learned how to see the difference and I now toss out maybe 1 in 500 eggs. Here is a quote from the OU. “Protein Spots: By far the most common blemishes found, these are formed by a microscopic “seed” of foreign matter that enters the egg during the early stages of development. Though found in both brown and white eggs, they are more prevalent in brown. o Generally, these look like thick clear jelly in the egg white and may be any size. If the “seed” speck is visible, it looks like a reddish brown piece of dirt at the center of the spot. o When appearing on the egg yolk, one generally only sees the “seed” speck. Whether in the white or yolk, these blemishes present no halachic concerns and the eggs may be consumed without further action. • “Blood” Spots: Far rarer than protein spot
