About Egg yoke
Egg yolk, the golden center of an egg, is rich in nutrients and widely used in cuisines worldwide. Packed with essential vitamins such as A, D, E, and K, it also contains minerals like phosphorus, selenium, and choline, which supports brain health. Egg yolks are a primary source of healthy fats and proteins, contributing to satiety and muscle repair. They are commonly found in dishes like custards, sauces, dressings, and baked goods, adding flavor, color, and texture. While yolks are nutrient-dense, they do have high cholesterol levels, which may be a consideration for individuals monitoring heart health. Despite this, research suggests moderate consumption contributes to balanced nutrition without adverse effects for most people. Whether enjoyed cooked or raw in recipes, egg yolks remain a versatile and nutritious addition to diets around the world.
