Eggs are a rich haven of healthy proteins thanks to the yolk. You would have to agree that only a few more other foods provide that pleasure of cutting into a runny yolk. But did you know that the colour of an egg yolk holds significance to its contents? The traditional belief about egg yolks colour variations is that a richer coloured yolk is healthier and more nutritious. However, this is far from the truth... in fact, yolks with darker hue have the same amount of protein and fat as yolks with lighter shades.
