About Egg yolk
Egg yolk, the golden center of an egg, is a rich source of nutrients and flavor, often celebrated in cuisines worldwide. Containing essential vitamins like A, D, E, and B12, along with iron, phosphorus, choline, and healthy fats, egg yolks contribute to brain health, immune function, and cell repair. While they are high in cholesterol—around 185 mg per yolk—it is worth noting that dietary cholesterol has a limited effect on blood cholesterol for most people. Egg yolks enhance dishes like custards, sauces, and baked goods with their creamy texture and buttery richness. Whether featured in European desserts, Asian marinades, or hearty breakfasts, they add depth and structure to recipes. Moderation is key when incorporating egg yolks into a balanced diet, as their caloric density requires mindful consumption for those managing cholesterol or weight. Egg yolks remain a powerful ingredient and nutritional ally in diverse cooking traditions.
