What it is

The yolk is the yellow, nutrient-rich part of an egg. It is separated from the egg white during processing. "Free-range" indicates the hens had access to the outdoors.

Egg yolks act as emulsifiers, helping to blend ingredients that normally don't mix, like oil and water. They also add richness, color, and flavor to foods. They are commonly found in baked goods, ice cream, dressings, and sauces.

Health notes
