yolks
Golden orb cores
Yolks are the yellow centers of eggs, surrounded by the white.
The yolk contains most of the egg's fat and nutrients, serving as food for a developing embryo.
In cooking, yolks provide richness to sauces, custards, and baked goods: Separate the yolks from the whites.
Figuratively, yolk can mean the essential or central part of something.
