Organic Cage Free Egg Yolks

Egg yolks are the yellow, nutrient-rich part of an egg. "Organic" means the hens that laid the eggs were raised under specific organic standards, including access to the outdoors and feed free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. "Cage-free" means the hens were not kept in traditional battery cages.

Egg yolks act as a natural emulsifier, helping to bind oil and water together, which is essential for creating smooth textures in foods like mayonnaise and salad dressings. They also contribute richness, color, and flavor.

Egg yolks are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA considers eggs to be a major food allergen. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated eggs and their components. Extensive research has explored the relationship between egg consumption and health outcomes, with findings often varying based on individual dietary patterns and overall health.
