Egg White

The clear part of an egg, mostly water and the protein albumen, separated from the yolk.

Origin

From a hen's egg. The white's job in the shell is to cushion the yolk.

Flavour

Almost no flavour. Its value is structure: it foams and sets with heat.

How to use it

Whip it for meringue, or stir it into mixtures that need setting without extra fat.

Storage

Refrigerate in a covered jar and use within a few days. It also freezes well.
