Poached egg whites are a light and nutritious option, composed solely of the albumen, or white portion, of an egg. Originating as a popular ingredient in health-conscious and low-fat cooking, they are commonly used in Western cuisines and fitness-focused diets. By excluding the yolk, poached egg whites are cholesterol-free and low in calories while being packed with high-quality protein, making them an excellent choice for muscle repair and growth. They are also naturally low in fat and carbohydrates. However, egg whites lack the vitamins and minerals found in the yolk, particularly vitamin D and healthy fats, so they may not provide a complete nutrient profile on their own. Typically prepared by gently cooking in simmering water, poached egg whites are a versatile choice, pairing well with salads, grain bowls, or whole-grain toast for a healthy, balanced meal.
