Powdered Egg Whites

Powdered Egg Whites are one of my favorite products to use for my Cooking.  If you are following along with Robb Wolf or with Mark you will notice that they recommend using Omega-3 enriched eggs because of their prefferable Omega-3 vs Omega-6 ratio.  And, if you've been to the store lately, you'll notice that a dozen of the Omega-3 enriched eggs runs between $3-4.50 a dozen.  That's 25-40 cents per egg!  That's expensive!


The benefits of using egg white protein are (but not limited to):
- One can from Honeyville Farms Egg Whites has about 225 egg whites for $24 - that's about 10 cents per egg white.  Cheap!
- Egg whites have no fat - therefore no Omega-6 imbalance to worry about.
- Egg whites are all protein and are easily used by the body.
- Egg whites never go bad!  You can store them in your cupboard.
- Dried egg whites are pasteurized - you can mix them in smoothies, ice creams, etc without needing to worry about getting sick from them.
- Dried egg whites are easily incorporated into paleo baking - using about 3 egg whites for every 2 whole eggs.
- Dried egg whites can be used in whereever normal egg whites would be used - even in meringues!
- No yolks to worry about!


I use regular eggs in all quiches, or when cooking up scrambled eggs.  I often also replace half the eggs in recipes with whites for the cost and fat savings.
