eggwhite
Clear before cooking
Eggwhite is the clear, viscous liquid surrounding the yolk of an egg, which turns white and opaque when cooked.
Also spelled as two words or hyphenated (egg white, egg-white), it consists mainly of water and protein, making it useful in cooking for binding, leavening, and creating foams like meringue.
Separate the eggwhite from the yolk before whipping.
In nutrition and fitness contexts, eggwhites are valued as a low-fat, high-protein food.
