egg white
Clear ovoid component
Egg white is the translucent part of an egg that surrounds the yolk, turning white and opaque when cooked.
It's mostly protein and water, prized in cooking for its ability to foam when beaten: Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Egg whites appear in meringues, soufflés, and cocktails like whiskey sours.
