egg-white
Foam when whipped
Egg-white is the clear, viscous liquid surrounding the yolk of an egg, turning white and opaque when cooked.
It consists mostly of water and protein, prized in cooking for its ability to foam when beaten: Whip the egg-whites until stiff peaks form.
Also written as two words or one: egg white, eggwhite.
