What it is
Egg yolk is the yellow, nutrient-rich part of an egg. It is separated from the egg white and is a source of fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. It is commonly obtained from chicken eggs.
Why it's used
Egg yolk acts as a natural emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients, and adds richness and color. It is found in products like mayonnaise, sauces, dressings, baked goods, and pasta.
Health notes
Egg yolk is a source of cholesterol and fat. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes egg yolk as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated egg yolk. Research on the health effects of dietary cholesterol from sources like egg yolks is ongoing, with varying conclusions regarding its impact on blood cholesterol levels in healthy individuals.
Allergen info
Egg yolk is derived from eggs, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
