Egg white
The clear protein-rich portion of a bird egg, separated from the yolk for preparations such as meringue.
About Egg white
Egg white is the clear, viscous portion of an egg surrounding the yolk. It becomes opaque and firm when heated, and can be whipped to a foamy, expanded texture; its flavour is mild compared with the yolk.
It is separated for uses such as foams, meringues and batters, and is also sold as liquid or dried egg white. A fresh separated white, pasteurized liquid white and dried product differ in processing and handling, so the form should be identified when comparing ingredients.
