Is egg yoke good?

Egg yolks contain seven vitamins: B6, folate, B-12, A, D, E and K. Of those, vitamins A, D, E and K are found only in egg yolks and not in egg whites. Egg yolks are one of only a handful of foods in which vitamin D is naturally found. Egg yolks also have minerals: calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, sodium and selenium.
