About Egg Yolk
Clearly higher in fat than egg white; useful for structure comparison.
Health Benefits of Egg Yolk
Fat-soluble vitamins concentrated here
The yolk is one of few natural foods with vitamin D, and is rich in vitamins A, E and K - important for vision, immunity and bone metabolism. Egg's vitamin D lives almost entirely in the yolk.
A source of lecithin and choline
The yolk is rich in lecithin and choline - choline is a key part of cell membranes supporting nerves and the liver, and lecithin aids fat emulsification and metabolism.
Calorie-dense; moderate amounts
100g of yolk is about 328 kcal and 28.2g fat - roughly 6x egg white by density. One or two whole eggs a day covers yolk nutrition without excess; those with special needs can consult a doctor about intake.
