About Egg yolks

Egg yolks are the vibrant yellow center of eggs, rich in nutrients and essential for countless culinary creations. Packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as folate, iron, and healthy fats, they are a powerhouse of nutrition. They are commonly used in a variety of cuisines worldwide, from velvety custards and sauces in French cooking to being a key ingredient in mayonnaise and baked goods. Egg yolks are an excellent source of choline, supporting brain and liver health, but they are also high in cholesterol, making moderation important for those monitoring their intake. Their creamy texture and rich flavor make them a favorite in both savory and sweet dishes, offering both nourishment and indulgence in every bite.
