Current through June 11, 2024
The white of an egg is:
1. A "bloody white" if blood is diffused
			 through the white.
2. "Clear" if it
			 is free from discolorations or from any foreign bodies floating in it.
			 (Prominent chalazas must not be confused with foreign bodies such as spots or
			 blood clots.)
3. "Firm" if it is
			 sufficiently thick or viscous to prevent the outline of the yolk from being
			 more than slightly defined or indistinctly indicated when the egg is
			 twirled.
4. "Reasonably firm" if it
			 is somewhat less thick or viscous than a firm white. A reasonably firm white
			 permits the yolk to approach the shell more closely, which results in a fairly
			 well defined outline of the yolk when the egg is twirled.
5. "Weak and watery" if it is slightly weak,
			 thin and generally lacking in viscosity. A weak and watery white permits the
			 yolk to approach the shell closely, causing the outline of the yolk to appear
			 plainly visible and dark when the egg is twirled.
