Egg yolk

Egg yolk is the yellow part of an egg and comes from poultry, such as chickens. It is a natural ingredient commonly used in cooking and baking.

To make egg yolk, eggs are cracked open, and the yolk is separated from the egg white. The yolk is then typically beaten or whisked before being added to recipes, providing richness and moisture.

You may see egg yolk on food labels as it adds flavour, richness, and helps bind ingredients together in dishes like cakes, custards, mayonnaise, and pasta. It also gives a golden colour to certain foods like bread and pastries.
