A quarter cup of egg whites, typically about two large egg whites, is a versatile and nutrient-rich ingredient. Derived from chicken eggs, it’s a staple in a variety of cuisines worldwide, particularly in Western and Asian cooking. Egg whites are fat-free, cholesterol-free, and an excellent source of high-quality protein, making them a go-to choice for those seeking to build muscle or maintain a healthy diet. They're also low in calories, with only 32 per quarter cup, and contain essential nutrients like potassium and magnesium. While they lack the vitamins found in yolks, their low calorie and fat content make them ideal for light recipes such as omelets, meringues, and protein shakes. However, relying solely on egg whites can miss out on the nutrients in yolks, so they are best consumed as part of a balanced diet.
