- How to pick a good one
- Check the ingredients — some cartons are pure egg white while others include gums, colour, or added nutrients. Pasteurised whites are safe to use uncooked, which shell eggs are not.
- What a good price looks like
- A 16 oz carton runs $3.50 to $6. On protein per dollar this is one of the worst buys in the shop — you are paying more for the whites of sixteen eggs than for a dozen whole eggs, having discarded the yolks, which carry most of the vitamins. Convenient, but rarely economical. Reported inconsistently by the USDA.
- What you actually get
- A cup of liquid egg whites is about 8 fl oz and equals roughly eight large egg whites, with about 26 g of protein and almost no fat. A standard 16 oz carton is therefore about sixteen eggs' worth of white.
- How to store it
- Unopened, until the printed date. Once opened, use within about a week and keep the carton refrigerated and tightly closed.
- In the kitchen
- Check the label before baking with it — some brands are salted and some carry gums or stabilisers, and both change how a batter behaves. Bring it to room temperature before whipping, and use a scrupulously clean bowl, since any trace of fat will stop a foam forming at all. A cup replaces about eight whites.
- Getting the most out of it
- Very high protein with almost no fat or calories, which is the whole reason to buy them. They whip to a meringue less readily than fresh whites because pasteurisation affects the proteins, so allow extra time and use a spotlessly clean bowl. For scrambles and omelettes they behave normally.
