Question

So, I was making hard boiled to eggs, my mom wanted the yolks, so I sai why not, but I ate the whites, and she looked at me funny. I love the whites.WHy don't people prefer the yolks to whites?

Answer 1

I think it is based on the individual. I personally do not like egg yolks at all but love egg whites.  

Answer 2

depends on the person. i like the white. the yolk tastes weird.

Answer 3

because the yolks taste better (to me) that's where all the protein is anyway.

Answer 4

Because the whites have no flavor. All the flavor is in the yolks.

Answer 5

Actually, I thought more people like the whites:) ... which I never understood, because all the flavor is in the yolk!   I think omelets or scrambled eggs with just the whites tastes bland.....

Answer 6

IDK.. Im the opposite. I only like the whites & not the yolk on hardboiled eggs!

Answer 7

I actually hate the yolks. I always take them out and give them to my dog when I make boiled eggs...

Egg yolks have a TON of saturated fat, cholesterol, and calories. You're far better off health-wise to not eat them. Egg whites only have 17 calories.
