Honeyville's Dried Egg Whites are produced exclusively from fresh eggs harvested from chickens in the United States. Powdered egg whites have several advantages over fresh eggs. The difficulty in separating the yolk from the clear is eliminated. In recipes that call for egg whites, there is no waste in egg yolks. No more waiting for egg whites to come to room temperature. Eliminating waste and saving time are only a few of the advantage in using our product. The use of only the highest-grade eggs, and the pasteurization process removes any possibility of salmonella contamination. Because powdered egg whites do not need to be refrigerated after opening, they conserve energy and shelf space. If you are searching for ways to reduce fat and cholesterol in dishes traditionally calling for whole eggs, powdered egg whites make a healthy substitute. Each 2.25 pound can of Powdered Egg Whites is the equivalent of 309 Large Fresh Whole Egg Whites.
