Egg Yolks

The yolk or yellow portion makes up about 33% of the liquid weight of the egg and contains all the fat in the egg. The yolk is extremely high in cholesterol, containing more than two-thirds of the recommended daily limit of 300 mg! However, the yolk has many health strengths necessary for immunity, healthy skin, nerves and vision. The yolk contains good amounts of B Vitamins, Vitamin A, iron and riboflavin. All the egg's vitamins A, D and E are in the yolk.

Egg Whites

Egg whites are very low in calories, have no fat, no cholesterol, and are loaded with protein. Egg whites contain a little over half of the eggs riboflavin, but none of the other vitamins. The egg white is less likely than the yolk to harbor dangerous salmonella. Consumption of raw eggs is highly discouraged due to health risks from salmonella. Egg whites or yolks should be brought to a temperature of at least 110 degrees in order to kill Salmonella bacteria.

If you want a really big omelet, one ostrich egg is equivalent to twenty two chicken eggs.
