Raw egg yolk is the nutrient-rich, golden center of an egg, celebrated for its creamy texture and versatility in numerous cuisines worldwide. Commonly used in dishes like sauces (e.g., mayonnaise, hollandaise), desserts (e.g., custards, tiramisu), and raw preparations (e.g., steak tartare), it is prized for its ability to enhance flavor and act as a natural emulsifier. A single egg yolk is packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as choline, which supports brain health. It also contains healthy fats and a small amount of protein. However, raw egg yolk should be consumed with caution due to the potential risk of salmonella. Its high cholesterol content may also be a concern for individuals managing cholesterol levels. When sourced from pasteurized or fresh eggs, raw egg yolk can be a nutritious addition to a balanced diet in moderation.
