egg white protein
Clear yolk surroundings
Egg white protein refers to the proteins found in the albumen—the clear liquid surrounding the yolk.
These proteins, primarily albumin and ovalbumin, make egg whites valuable in cooking for their ability to foam when whipped and set firm when heated.
In nutrition and fitness contexts, egg white protein is a complete protein source often consumed for muscle building: I add egg white protein powder to my smoothies.
