Description
Organic egg whites are the transparent and gelatinous part of the egg, without the yolk. They are frequently used in cooking for their versatility and low fat and calorie content. Egg whites mainly contain high-quality proteins, such as ovalbumin, and are ideal for preparing meringues, soufflés, whipped whites, light omelets, and as a binding agent in various recipes.
The term organic indicates that the egg whites come from chickens raised in natural conditions, without the use of pesticides, hormones, or antibiotics, which ensures a healthier and more environmentally friendly product.
Egg whites have an ancestral origin in human nutrition and their use is widespread in all cuisines of the world. Regarding synonyms in Spanish from Latin America, although the most common term is claras de huevo, they can also be called:
- Clara
- Albumen (more technical)
- Blanca de huevo (in some countries)
This ingredient is essential for recipes that require a light texture and volume, especially in desserts and low-fat preparations.
