Description

Hard-boiled egg white is the white part of the egg, obtained by separating it from the yolk and cooking it until a firm and compact texture is achieved. It is an ingredient widely used in recipes that require a low-fat protein source with a smooth and versatile texture.

The egg is a food of animal origin common in various culinary cultures around the world. The white, being primarily water and proteins (albumin), is highly valued for its nutritional properties and its ability to absorb flavors and provide structure to different preparations.

In Latin America, hard-boiled egg white may also be referred to simply as hard egg white, cooked white, or boiled white. Depending on the country, it is sometimes simply called "hard white" to differentiate it from raw egg white.

Properties: Hard-boiled egg white is rich in high-quality protein, low in calories, and virtually free of fats and carbohydrates, making it an ideal food for healthy and athletic diets. Furthermore, its firm texture makes it easy to incorporate into salads, sandwiches, fillings, and both cold and hot dishes.

In cooking, it is a key ingredient for preparations such as Caesar salads, deviled eggs, and various dishes that require a light and neutral vegetable or protein.
