Egg yolk weights, supplied by the British Egg Information Service (BEIS), an official source of egg information.
These are estimates for the average weight of the yolk inside different size eggs, excluding the weight of the shell. As eggs are a natural product, the precise weight of the yolk will vary slightly from egg to egg.
| Egg Size | Yolk - Percentage | Yolk - Weight (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Small (48g) | 26.2% | 12.6g |
| Medium (58g) | 25.5% | 14.8g |
| Large (68g) | 25.1% | 17.1g |
| Very Large (78g) | 24.4% | 19g |
