What it is
Egg yolks are the yellow, nutrient-rich center of an egg. They contain fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Fresh egg yolks are separated from the egg whites and used as a food ingredient.
Why it's used
Egg yolks act as a natural emulsifier, helping to bind ingredients like oil and water, which creates smoother textures in foods. They also add richness, color, and flavor. They are commonly found in baked goods like cakes and breads, as well as in ice cream and custards.
Health notes
Fresh egg yolks are a natural food and not an additive requiring FDA approval. They are a source of nutrients like choline and vitamin D. Major health organizations have not set specific intake limits for egg yolks, but dietary guidelines suggest moderation as part of a balanced diet due to their cholesterol content. Research on dietary cholesterol's impact on blood cholesterol has yielded mixed results.
Allergen info
Eggs are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Egg yolks are derived from eggs, so they are considered a major allergen.
