About Salted egg yolk

Salted egg yolk is a flavorful and versatile ingredient originating from Chinese cuisine, where eggs are preserved in a brine made of salt and water. This curing process results in a rich, golden yolk with a creamy texture and a uniquely savory, slightly briny taste. Salted egg yolks are often used to enhance dishes like pastries, rice, seafood, and even snacks. Nutritionally, they are high in protein and contain essential vitamins such as vitamin A and B12, as well as minerals like phosphorus. However, they are also high in sodium and cholesterol due to the curing process, which may not be suitable for those on restricted diets for heart health or hypertension. Consumed in moderation, salted egg yolks serve as an indulgent, deeply satisfying addition to meals that showcase their rich flavor and traditional culinary heritage.
