While egg whites provide about 10.8 g of protein per 100 g, the <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6470839\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">yolk <\/a>contains around 16.4 g per 100 g. 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.
