About Egg white

Egg whites, the clear liquid within an egg, are packed with high-quality protein while being virtually free of fat and cholesterol. Originating from ancient global culinary traditions, egg whites are a versatile ingredient found in dishes ranging from Western omelets to delicate Asian desserts. They consist primarily of water and albumin, a type of protein that helps build and repair tissues. Egg whites are low-calorie, offering approximately 17 calories per large egg, making them a popular choice for weight-conscious diets. Rich in essential amino acids but lacking significant vitamins and minerals compared to the yolk, egg whites are a heart-healthy option free of saturated fats. However, eating them exclusively might miss out on nutrients found in the yolk, such as vitamin D and healthy fats. Whether whipped into meringues or included in healthy breakfast recipes, egg whites are a nutrient-dense, lean protein alternative for many dietary lifestyles.
