What it is
This product contains the clear, liquid albumen from chicken eggs. It has been pasteurized for safety, meaning it has been heated to a specific temperature to eliminate harmful bacteria. This process makes it a convenient and safe option for cooking and baking. The liquid form eliminates the need to separate yolks from whites, saving time and effort in the kitchen.
