Medium egg whites are a versatile and nutritious component found within an egg, separated from the yolk. They are recognized for being a high-protein, low-calorie option suitable for various dishes and diets, including fitness-focused and low-fat cuisines. Originating naturally from eggs, they are a staple in global culinary traditions, commonly used in baking, cooking, and creating light, fluffy desserts like meringues and soufflés. Egg whites are rich in protein, containing nearly 4 grams per serving, and are virtually fat-free with no cholesterol, making them ideal for heart-healthy diets. They also provide essential nutrients such as riboflavin and selenium. However, they lack the vitamins and minerals found in the yolk, such as vitamin D and iron, making them less nutrient-dense overall. Their ability to contribute structure and texture to recipes makes them a valuable ingredient in both savory and sweet applications.
