Eggs consist of 2 major portions, the egg white and the egg yolk. The egg white is mostly consisted of water and protein, while the egg yolk is primarily the nutrient bearing portion of the egg that supplies food to the embryo, like vitamins and minerals.

The egg yolk also contains the nutrients that the body needs. It has Vitamins A, D and E which help in protecting the body from UV and pollution along with saturated as well as unsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid, linoleic acid and stearic acid. The yolk of an egg also has minerals like calcium, iron, phosphorous and zinc.
