Egg (yolks for serving)

Description

Egg yolks for serving have an intense, creamy flavor and a rich, golden-orange color that adds an appetizing shine and velvety texture to dishes. They visually attract attention as raw or lightly browned yolks on soups, pasta, or steaks, enhancing the flavor with their richness and umami. Nutritionally, yolks are a concentrated source of healthy fats, choline, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), B vitamins, as well as lutein and zeaxanthin, which are beneficial for vision. However, one should keep in mind the cholesterol content and the risk of bacteria with raw consumption — sensitive individuals should exercise caution. Culinary uses include finishing dishes (e.g., ramen, carbonara, tartare), enriching sauces and creams, and emulsifying dishes. Store in a cool place, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours; for longer storage, freeze whisked with a bit of salt or sugar.
