Description

Egg Beaters is a liquid egg substitute specially formulated for culinary use, ideal for those who wish to reduce their intake of cholesterol and saturated fats without giving up the taste and texture of traditional eggs. This product is made primarily from pasteurized egg whites, to which a blend of vitamins and minerals is added to maintain a balanced nutritional profile.

Its origin dates back to the United States, where brands like Egg Beaters emerged as healthy alternatives for people with dietary restrictions or those seeking lighter options in the kitchen. Thanks to its liquid consistency and neutral taste, it is perfect for preparing everything from omelets, tortillas, and scrambles to baked goods like cakes and muffins.

Properties:

  • Low in cholesterol and saturated fats.
  • High in protein content.
  • Easy to measure and use, avoiding the separation and waste of traditional eggs.
  • Pasteurized, which reduces the risk of foodborne illnesses.

In various Hispanic American countries, this type of product can be found under synonyms or descriptions such as liquid egg substitute, pasteurized liquid egg white, or simply egg whites. Although the brand name "Egg Beaters" is not always used, the function and application in recipes are the same.
