However, since each egg naturally has a larger portion of white than yolk, the white contributes a greater share of the egg\u2019s total protein, earning its reputation as the primary protein source<br \/>Compared to the white part, egg yolk delivers a far wider range of essential nutrients, including fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), B vitamins, minerals like selenium and iron, healthy fats, and omega-3 fatty acids.
