Egg whites, separated from the yolks, are a versatile ingredient found in cuisines worldwide. They are primarily composed of water and protein, containing negligible fat and carbohydrates. Known for their high protein content and low calorie count, egg whites are favored in health-conscious cooking and fitness diets. They are free of cholesterol, making them a heart-healthy choice compared to whole eggs. Popular in Western cuisine, egg whites are used in dishes like omelets, soufflés, and meringues, or simply cooked on their own. Their mild flavor allows them to pair well with various ingredients and seasonings. While highly nutritious, egg whites lack some vitamins and minerals found in the yolk, such as vitamin D and iron. Nonetheless, they serve as an excellent source of lean protein and are a staple for weight management and muscle recovery diets.
