Grated egg yolks?!

I live in Andalucia, more specifically the Granada province. At around Christmas time, I think, all the shops go mad and start selling grated egg yolks. Can someone explain to me what this is used for and also if they know the history behind it. Gracias!! smile

I have no idea, just guessing, but looking at some of the traditional Spanish Christmas recipes (Spanish Christmas recipes) I see that many of them call for 6 egg yolks. Is buying dried egg yolks just more economical than buying whole eggs and having to discard the egg whites?
