Boiled egg whites are a highly nutritious food, originating as a staple in many cuisines worldwide due to their simplicity and versatility. They are the translucent, protein-rich portion of an egg that turns opaque when cooked. Egg whites are fat-free and cholesterol-free, making them a heart-healthy choice compared to whole eggs. Packed with high-quality protein, they support muscle growth and repair, while being low in calories makes them ideal for weight management. They contain essential nutrients like riboflavin and selenium but lack the vitamins and minerals found in the yolk, such as vitamin D and iron. Commonly used in Western, Asian, and fusion cuisines, boiled egg whites are often enjoyed in salads, as a snack, or as part of a fitness-focused meal. While highly beneficial, eating only egg whites removes some key nutrients provided by the yolk, so balance is encouraged.
