About Yolk egg

Egg yolk is the nutrient-rich yellow center of the chicken egg, containing fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. In this variant, the yolk is raw but processed—frozen, salted, and pasteurized—to enhance shelf life and safety for industrial and culinary uses.

It is widely used as an ingredient in sauces, dressings, custards, and baked goods.
The yolk provides essential nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, and folate.
It is a prominent source of dietary fats and cholesterol.

Suitable for egg-inclusive diets, it is commonly stored frozen and thawed before use. The pasteurization process reduces microbial risks while retaining most nutritional qualities.
