Egg white, the clear portion of an egg, is a nutrient-rich food primarily composed of water and protein, containing minimal fat and carbohydrates. It provides essential amino acids and is a popular choice for those seeking a dietary protein source without added cholesterol, as all the egg's cholesterol is in the yolk. Egg whites are versatile and feature prominently in various cuisines around the world, such as in classic French soufflés, Asian stir-fries, or as a binder in baked goods. Their low calorie count makes them ideal for weight management, while their high protein content supports muscle repair and overall health. However, they lack some nutrients found in the yolk, such as vitamins D and B12, and consuming raw egg whites may pose a small risk of bacterial contamination and hinder biotin absorption. Cooked egg whites are a healthy, nutrient-efficient choice for a balanced diet.
