Pasteurized Liquid Egg Whites
What it is
This product is 100% pure liquid egg whites, carefully separated from the yolks. It has been pasteurized for safety, meaning it has undergone a heating process to eliminate harmful bacteria. This ensures a safe and convenient way to consume egg whites without the need to crack and separate fresh eggs. The liquid form makes it easy to measure and incorporate into various recipes. It is a shelf-stable product before opening.
How people cook with it
Liquid egg whites are a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory cooking.
- Baking meringues and angel food cakes
- Whipping up omelets and scrambles
- Creating frothy cocktails
When baking, liquid egg whites can be whipped to create volume and structure, similar to fresh egg whites. For savory dishes like omelets or scrambles, they can be poured directly into a heated pan and cooked until set. Because they are already separated, they save time and effort in the kitchen, making them ideal for quick meal preparation or when a large quantity of egg whites is needed.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh eggs, liquid egg whites are already separated from the yolk, eliminating the need for manual separation. The pasteurization process also offers an added layer of food safety. Their liquid consistency means they are ready to use directly from the container, and they typically have a longer shelf life when unopened compared to fresh eggs.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers who want a convenient and safe source of egg whites.
How to keep the rest

It is recommended to use the product within a few days of opening to ensure the best quality and safety. Proper refrigeration is key to preserving the integrity of the liquid egg whites.
