If eggs have a green ring around their yolk, what does it mean?

Yes, the green ring is completely safe and an indicator that your egg has been overcooked. The color change is purely a cosmetic issue and does not affect the egg’s safety or nutritional value. While the overcooked yolk might be slightly drier and have a sulfurous odor, the egg is still perfectly fine to eat. It’s a useful visual cue to help you perfect your future egg-cooking technique.
