About Yolk

Yolk is the nutrient-rich yellow portion of an egg, surrounded by the white. A vital ingredient in cuisines worldwide, it adds flavor, color, and texture to dishes ranging from custards to sauces. Packed with essential nutrients, yolk contains protein, vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with choline, which supports brain health. It’s also a source of iron, phosphorus, and selenium. Despite its benefits, yolk is calorie-dense and contains cholesterol, which should be moderated in certain diets or health conditions. Common in baked goods and breakfast favorites, yolk’s versatility makes it a staple in sweet and savory recipes alike.
