What is Egg White Powder?
Our Egg White Powder is made from spray-dried egg whites, also known as pure albumin. It doesn't contain any additives or preservatives and is imported from France where the spray-drying process takes place. The egg whites that are used have been pasteurized for your safety and peace of mind. By adding water, the now rehydrated egg whites can be used in a wide variety of recipes and applications. It is a great g-to for campers and travelers.
How is Egg White Powder made?
Our Egg White Powder is made by spray-drying egg whites. The spray-drying process works by feeding the egg whites into a big drum through what is called an atomizer. This atomizer pretty much does as the name suggests. It sprays the liquid as a fine mist into the drying chamber, where a hot gas quickly evaporates the moisture. The now dried egg white particles are pumped with the gas into a collection drum. The gas is then pumped out and the remaining egg white is collected into bags. For a more in-depth explanation, here is a helpful video from YouTube. Introduction to Spray Drying.

Egg White Powder can last for up to 10 years with proper storage. You can cut down on waste as well since the powder can be measured according to your needs. The powder also ensures that you do not have to find another use for the egg yolk you separated from a fresh egg. This helps you to save money on ingredients.

Helps you feel fuller
Eating more protein, especially at breakfast is said to make you feel fuller for longer. A study was done on the merits of skipping breakfast. The study found that teenagers who ate more protein at breakfast felt more satiated. This meant that they ate fewer snacks and made better choices regarding their diets. This logic can be extended to adults who want to lose weight as well. Protein-rich egg whites are thus a good fuel source to start your day. Feeling fuller for longer means less snacking on unhealthy foods. It also means you are on the right track for weight loss.
-
A healthier option for alternative diets
Egg whites, by their very nature, ate gluten-free. It doesn't contain any lactose or dairy either. Egg whites are ideal for Ovo-vegetarians (vegetarians that eat eggs), as well as for those who wish to add extra protein without the added fat.

Egg white powder has plenty of minerals
Egg white powder has all of the nutrients and minerals of eggs. It is chock full of Potassium, Magnesium, and Selenium. Potassium is important for the normal functioning of your body. It also helps to regulate your heartbeat. Magnesium helps to build healthy bones and has been known to alleviate muscle cramps. While Selenium helps keep your hair healthy and reduces the risk of Dementia.

Low-calorie, no cholesterol
Egg whites contain 110 calories and no cholesterol. This is great news for those watching their cholesterol levels.

Keeps your immune system healthy.
Having a healthy immune is more important than ever. The immune system helps our bodies to fight off infections and diseases. It also ensures that we recover from illnesses sooner. Egg white Protein Powder contains Vitamin A, B12, and Selenium. They all work together to keep your immune system in tip-top shape and fighting ready.
-
Maintains electrolyte levels
The potassium found in Egg whites works a lot like sodium in terms of electrolytes. Which in turn helps to maintain a healthy heart and to reduce the risk of strokes. Electrolytes are also important to maintain fluid levels in your body. Potassium is a type of electrolyte just like Sodium. The two work together to ensure that your body functions normally.
-
Helps your muscles to recover faster
Muscle recovery time is a big deal for exercise enthusiasts. After all, the faster your body recovers from an intense workout, the faster you can get back to it. An amino acid called Leucine reduces muscle recovery time. Besides helping in muscle recovery, Leucine also helps with muscle building. Egg white powder contains the second highest amount of Leucine. Right after Whey powder.
-
Safe to use during pregnancy
Protein is a very important nutrient during pregnancy. Not only does it help the child to grow healthy and strong, but it also helps the mother’s energy levels. Knowing that the egg white nourishes the chick as it grows, it makes sense that it will do the same for a human baby too.
Does Egg White powder have a taste?
Egg white Powder tastes a lot like how you would expect an egg white to taste. The neutral flavor won’t affect the taste of your meals all that much.
Ways to use Egg White Powder?
As an egg wash:
There are many options for egg washes that you can choose from, even milk is an option. It is important to note that different egg washes will have different results after baking. Using only egg white, or in our case rehydrated egg powder, will result in a shiny finish instead of a golden one.
As a smoothie:
Egg white powder is often used as protein shakes, meaning it will be ideal for smoothies too. Fruit and veggies can make your smoothies even healthier. To give you an idea for a smoothie, here is a recipe from Lina over at Practicewellnessnow.com.
You will need a blender or food processor, a knife, a cutting board, a glass, a measuring set, and a vegetable brush.
As for ingredients, you will need 1 banana, 1 Kiwi, three strawberries, ½ cup blackberries, 1 ½ cup water, and 1 tablespoon Egg White Protein powder.
Method:
-
prep your ingredients by washing, cutting, and peeling your fruit. Also, remember to wash your hands with soap and water. The vegetable brush will be very handy for washing your produce.
-
You are welcome to mix your egg white powder into a bowl with a couple of teaspoons of water, but it is not needed.
-
Combine your washed and peeled produce in the blender or food processor and blend until well-mixed.
-
Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Have a look at the original recipe here for more information.
For baking:
We all love to nibble on something sweet here and there, especially on special occasions. With egg white powder you can enjoy many of your favorite baked goods without too much guilt. I recommend replacing sugar with Stevia or alcohol sugars such as Erythritol for a healthier end product. Meringue is an obvious choice to use Egg white powder in, as are Macaroons. A buttercream is also an option that could benefit from adding Egg white.
For breakfast:
Another great idea is using rehydrated egg white powder as the base for making breakfast muffins. I found a promising recipe from Naked Nutrition. Have a closer look here.
