In the quest for lower cholesterol or fewer calories, many people opt to eat egg whites only, discarding the yolk. However, the yolk contains the majority of an egg's nutrients, including vitamins D, E, and A, as well as essential fatty acids and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin. These compounds are vital for eye health, brain function, and reducing inflammation. By removing the yolk, you're not only missing out on these nutrients but also losing the rich flavor and texture that make eggs so appealing. Embrace the yolk to enjoy the full spectrum of health benefits eggs offer.
