Vitellus and the Lactose Free Diet

Vitellus, or egg yolk, is the nutrient-rich yellow portion of an egg. It is a key component in many culinary applications, providing richness, flavor, and emulsification properties. Egg yolk contains essential vitamins, minerals, and fats, including cholesterol. It is often separated from the egg white and used in recipes where its creamy texture and binding properties are desired.
