Egg whites are the clear, protein-rich component of eggs, separated from the yolk. They are primarily composed of water and albumin protein, making them low in calories and fat while being an excellent source of high-quality protein. Egg whites are versatile and widely used in various cuisines around the world, from soufflés and meringues in European cooking to steamed egg dishes in Asian cuisine. They are prized for their ability to bind, foam, and add structure to recipes. Nutritionally, egg whites are free of cholesterol and contain minimal carbohydrates, making them a heart-healthy choice for people watching their fat or calorie intake. However, they lack many vitamins and minerals, which are concentrated in the yolk. While egg whites are a nutritious option on their own, a balanced approach that includes both the white and yolk can offer a broader range of health benefits.
