What it is

Egg whites are the clear liquid found inside an egg. They are primarily made of water and proteins, like albumin. "Cage-free" means the hens that laid the eggs were not kept in cages and had access to the outdoors and space to roam.

Why it's used

Egg whites are used in baking and cooking for their ability to add structure, moisture, and richness. They can act as a binder, emulsifier, or leavening agent. They are found in baked goods like cookies and cakes, as well as in products like meringues and egg substitutes.
