Egg yolks are a nutritional powerhouse, especially when it comes to choline—a nutrient essential for brain development, liver function, and overall health. During pregnancy, choline plays a crucial role in fetal brain development, making it an essential nutrient for expectant mothers.

Method
Start by carefully separating the egg yolk from the egg white. Ensure that there are no traces of eggshell in the yolks.
