Wow – this is all great info. I’m in Atlanta, GA and I just got one this morning in my hard-boiled egg from Starbucks. I’m going to take it as a sign of good luck!

We frequently see eggs with double yokes but recently cracked one into the frying pan that had a double yoke one yellow & one white (from the same egg) – wierd. Wish I had taken a picture of it. No, we didn’t eat it.

Maybe it’s the oppression of the chicken species finally affecting the oppressors! chickens need love and freedom just like the rest of us, and I seriously felt grossed out by the sight of what I was about to eat. It was like GMO egg or some hideous mutation! If it was lucky, then the dog will be better for it, cause that’s who I fed it to.

The claim in this article, that the color of the yolk does not affect the nutritional value of the egg, contradicts the article’s explanation of the color of yolks. Caratenoids ARE nutrients. The most common caratenoids in the North American diet are beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, gamma-carotene, lycopene, lutein, beta-crpytoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin.

Don’t trust industry reps for nutrition information.

I JUST ate one! I didn’t think of taking a picture but here’s what happened. I cracked open a white yolked egg, much less color than this one. I thought it could be called an ‘Albino yolk?’ It worried me, so I threw it out. Then cracked a normal one in the pan, and the third one was white too. Running out of eggs, I decided I would risk the possible health danger, I live on the edge, I scrambled it up in the normal one with a bit of milk. Tasted fine.

I am from Canada, and our yolks are usually yellowish. I live in Holland and find the yolks are very orange here (it’s also the national color), but never saw a white yolk here or in Canada.

Here is what I put on my facebook status “Just cracked open an (albino??) white yolked egg. It scared me and I threw it out. But the third one I cracked was also albino and I was running out of eggs so I ate one. If I died of ‘unknown’ causes this weekend, you’ll know it was the albino egg I ate.”

Some friends laugh, others say it’s lucky, one guy found a beak in his, and my wonderful website hostess and web designer Miriam http://www.itsmirhosting.co.uk/ sent me a link to this blog.

I hope they are lucky! Now I will read more of the others comments. Happy to have found this blog!

I live in New York and expierenced my first white egg yolk last night. I just bought a dozen eggs from my local co-op and about half the eggs had white egg yolks, strangest thing ever.
