The purpose of the egg yolk is to produce food for its embryo

∙ 14y agoThe yolk is basically the food supply for a developing chick, and the white is the protective membrane and cushion to protect the chick. As the chick grows in the egg, the yolk gets used up, and the white thins out to make room for the chick. Note that all of that only happens if the egg is fertile.

∙ 13y agoYou don't, unless you are relying on 'fluffing' the white, which doesn't work if it has yolk in it. Aerating or 'fluffing' the white, produces a lighter creamier consisting ingredient for deserts such as pavlova and creme brullee - but don't throw the yolk out it is full of goodness! Consider drinking the yolk raw with whiskey, or chocolate syrup, or mixing it in to some milk and making some scrambled egg.

Which is better egg white or egg yolk?
If a recipe calls for "2 eggs," it means THE WHOLE EGG. If they want you to use the egg yolk only, it will say, "add the yolk of 2 eggs." If they want you to use the egg whites only, it will say, "separate the eggs and beat in the whites." To 'separate' an egg means to separate the yolk from the whites.

How do you separate egg whites from the yolk?
To separate the white from the yolk you can do it one of two ways. go buy an egg separator from a kitchen supply. or, the super easy and free way is to simply crack the egg shell and carefully open it into two halves, and pour the unbroken yolk from one half to the other. the white will automatically separate and spill from the shell into your bowl. its that easy. you will be left with just the yolk, which you can seal and freeze to use in future recipes that call for yolks only.
