What it is

Yellow eggs are the yolks of chicken eggs. The yolk is the yellow, nutrient-rich part of the egg, containing fats, vitamins, and minerals. It is separated from the egg white during processing.

Why it's used

Egg yolks act as emulsifiers, helping to blend ingredients like oil and water, and add richness and color to foods. They are commonly found in baked goods such as cakes, cupcakes, and pastries, as well as in puddings and custards.

Health notes

Egg yolks are a source of nutrients like choline and vitamin D. The FDA considers eggs to be a common food, and they are not subject to specific additive regulations. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated eggs and their components. While eggs contain cholesterol, dietary cholesterol's impact on blood cholesterol is considered less significant for most people than previously thought, according to current dietary guidelines.

Allergen info

Eggs are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. This ingredient is derived directly from eggs.
