eggwhites
Clear part of ova
Eggwhites are the clear, protein-rich portion of an egg surrounding the yolk, turning white and opaque when cooked.
They're prized in cooking for their ability to foam when beaten, creating meringues, soufflés, and cocktail froth.
Health-conscious eaters favor eggwhites for protein without the cholesterol of yolks: I'll have an eggwhite omelet.
Also spelled egg whites.
