What it is

Organic dry egg whites are the liquid egg whites from organic chickens, dehydrated to a powder form. The dehydration process removes water, making the egg whites shelf-stable and easier to store and transport. They are produced by separating egg whites from yolks and then drying the whites.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic dry egg whites as a protein source and for their leavening properties in baked goods. They can also act as binders and emulsifiers. You'll often find them in snack bars, baked goods, and protein supplements.

Health notes

Organic dry egg whites are considered a food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of protein and other nutrients found in egg whites. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated egg white proteins, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also assessed egg proteins. At typical consumption levels, they are safe. There are no widespread controversies regarding their use in food.
