What it is
Salted egg yolk is the yolk of a chicken egg that has been preserved in a salt and brine solution. This process removes moisture and firms the yolk, giving it a rich, savory flavor and a crumbly texture.
Why it's used
Salted egg yolk is used to add a distinct umami and salty flavor to a variety of dishes. It is commonly found in baked goods like mooncakes, as well as in savory applications such as noodles, rice dishes, and as a topping for snacks.
Health notes
Salted egg yolk is a food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Like all foods, its nutritional content, particularly sodium and cholesterol, should be considered as part of a balanced diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for salted egg yolk as a standalone ingredient are not widely publicized.
Allergen info
Salted egg yolk is derived from eggs, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
