Where does an egg have most of its protein?!


Question: In the yolk or whites?


Answers: In the yolk or whites?

Egg yolk's structure: 1/2 water
1/6 protein
1/3 fat
emulsifiers (lecithin)
All of the egg's vitamins A, D and E are in the yolk. Egg yolks are one of the few foods naturally containing vitamin D. The yolk also contains more phosphorus, manganese, iron, iodine, copper, and calcium than the white, and it contains all of the zinc.

Egg white's structure:

7/8 water
1/8 protein
0 fat
niacin, riboflavin, chlorine, magnesium, potassium, sodium and sulfur.

So as you can see, both.

white is completely protein.

The white. It is pure protein

The white.

The white is all protein the yolk is all vitamins, minerals and fats (good fats if it is organic and free range).

The white - it's nothing but protein. It also has as much cholesterol as a 8oz steak.
Something to think about....!

BOTH!

inside the egg but out side the yellow part.
