Eggs, chicken, yolk, boiled

Boiled chicken egg yolk is the yellow part of a chicken’s egg after cooking, with the white excluded. It mainly provides fat and protein, alongside vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, boiled yolk contains 33g of fat, including 9.2g of saturated fat, and 17g of protein. It also provides 13µg of vitamin D.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and supports bones and muscles. The fat and saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their energy or saturated fat intake. These values apply to yolk alone, rather than a whole boiled egg.
