About Chicken egg white
Chicken egg white, also called albumen, is the clear-to-cloudy portion surrounding the yolk in a chicken egg. It is mostly translucent and fluid when raw, with thicker strands near the yolk; heat turns it opaque and sets it into a tender, springy texture. Its flavour is mild and less rich than that of the yolk.
It is used separately in cooking and baking, including preparations where its foaming or setting properties are useful. Egg white is sold in whole eggs, separated fresh liquid, and pasteurised, frozen, or dried forms. These forms differ in processing and moisture, so the name does not imply a single retail state.
