About Egg white powder

Egg white powder is a dried product made from the white, or albumen, of eggs. It is usually a fine, pale powder that can be reconstituted with water; in its dry state it is shelf-stable and easy to portion. Its flavour is mild, though it may differ from fresh egg white depending on processing.

It is used in cooking and baking where egg-white properties are wanted, and may also be used dry in prepared foods. Products differ in whether they are pure dried egg white or include other ingredients, and in how they have been processed. Nutrition comparisons should specify the powder as sold or reconstituted and check whether it is a single-ingredient product.
