About Egg substitute
Egg substitute is a variable category of products intended to replace some or all of the function of egg in a food. The record does not say whether the product is plant-based, dairy-based, or made from another formulation, and it gives no ingredient list. No particular recipe or functional property can therefore be assumed.
Substitutes may be sold as liquids, powders, or other preparations and are used in different foods according to their intended function. Their appearance, texture, and performance vary with formulation and use. This entry describes the replacement category without selecting one arbitrary product or claiming equivalence to every use of egg.
