What it is

Salted egg yolks are made by curing fresh egg yolks in salt or a salt-and-sugar mixture. The curing process removes moisture and firms the yolks, concentrating their flavor and changing their texture. They are often used in Asian cuisine.

Why it's used

Salted egg yolks add a rich, savory, and slightly salty flavor to foods. They are often incorporated into baked goods, sauces, dips, and snacks. Their unique umami taste makes them a popular ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes.

Health notes

Salted egg yolks are a source of protein and fat. They are also high in sodium due to the curing process. The FDA considers salted egg yolks to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as intended. While JECFA has evaluated egg products, they have not set a specific ADI for salted egg yolks. High sodium intake is linked to increased blood pressure in some individuals.

Allergen info

Salted egg yolks are derived from eggs, which are one of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
