Egg whites are the clear, protein-rich portion of an egg, separated from the yolk. Originating from chicken eggs commonly used in cooking worldwide, egg whites are a staple in various cuisines, including Western, Asian, and Mediterranean dishes. They consist primarily of water and high-quality protein and are naturally low in calories, fat, and cholesterol, making them a popular choice for those seeking lighter or heart-healthy options. Egg whites are packed with essential amino acids and provide minerals like potassium and magnesium. They are often used in recipes for meringues, soufflés, and low-fat omelets or as an ingredient to add structure in baking. While they offer numerous health benefits, it’s worth noting that egg whites lack many of the vitamins and healthy fats found in the yolk, so consuming the whole egg can provide a more balanced nutritional profile.
