powdered eggs
Shelf-stable breakfast protein
Powdered eggs are dehydrated eggs processed into a shelf-stable powder, reconstituted with water for cooking.
They're standard in military rations, emergency supplies, and institutional kitchens where refrigeration is impractical: The hikers packed powdered eggs for the week-long trek.
The texture and taste differ noticeably from fresh eggs, giving them a reputation for unpalatability.
