Egg white is the clear liquid (also called the albumin or the glair/glaire) contained within an egg. In chickens it is formed from the layers of secretions of the anterior section of the hen’s oviduct during the passage of the egg. It forms around fertilized or underutilized egg yolks. The primary natural purpose of egg white is to protect the yolk and provide additional nutrition for the growth of the embryo (when fertilized).

Egg white consists primarily of about 90% water into which about 10% proteins (including albumins, mucoproteins, and globulins) are dissolved. Unlike the yolk, which is high in lipids (fats), egg whites contains almost no fat, and carbohydrate content is less than 1%. Egg whites contain about 56% of the protein in the egg.

Egg white has many uses in food (e.g. meringue, mousse) and also many other uses (e.g. in the preparation of vaccines such as those for influenza).

Eating only egg whites instead of whole may lower the amount of calories, fat, and saturated fats you consume.
