What it is

Egg yolks are the yellow, nutrient-rich part of an egg. They contain fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Egg yolks are separated from the egg whites during processing.

Why it's used

Egg yolks act as a natural emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients smoothly. They also add richness, color, and flavor. They are commonly found in mayonnaise, dressings, sauces, baked goods, and pasta.

Health notes

Egg yolks are a source of nutrients like choline and vitamin D. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists egg yolks as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). While egg yolks contain cholesterol, current dietary guidelines suggest that cholesterol in food has less impact on blood cholesterol levels than previously thought for most people. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated egg products.

Allergen info

Egg yolks are derived from eggs, which are one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
