What it is

Organic dried egg whites are the liquid albumen of eggs that has been dehydrated. The process removes water, concentrating the protein content. This results in a shelf-stable powder that can be easily stored and transported.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dried egg whites primarily for their leavening and binding properties in baked goods. They help create a lighter texture and provide structure. They are commonly found in cakes, cookies, meringues, and some protein bars.

Health notes

Dried egg whites are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a good source of protein. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated egg white proteins, but did not set a numerical acceptable daily intake (ADI). Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Egg is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Dried egg whites are derived from eggs and are therefore a major allergen.
