I tried the new animal-free egg white powder (9 grams of protein, 40 cal per 2 Tbsp). It’s the same protein (albumen) as in eggs, but it’s made from precision fermentation. It’s 10/10. Bakes just like I remember (meringues in right pic).

You can add the powder directly to smoothies, oatmeal, or whatever. It has a neutral flavor just like animal egg white because it’s the same protein. Yesterday I made a fantastic angel food cake. This is where i ordered it: [https://www.healthiercomforts.com/collections/all-products/products/animal-free-egg-white-protein-powder](https://www.healthiercomforts.com/collections/all-products/products/animal-free-egg-white-protein-powder) It’s also on Amazon here https://www.amazon.com/Healthier-Comforts-Animal-Free-Powder-Protein/dp/B0G15WPP16 One bag has equivalent of 46 egg whites. The batch of meringues on the right only required 2 Tbsp of egg white powder.
Omg those look fabulous!! I have to try this. Thx so much for the post and sharing this
Would you recommend using it with boxed mixes or recipes that call for egg? Would it function similar to a flax egg in something like brownies or muffins?
This is interesting. How much was it? Looks like a really long shelf life so even if it’s pricy at least it will last
Can you use this in cocktails?
this is so cool. technology and research into these sorts of “mundane” things fascinates me
omfg this is incredible i’m buying asap
man I would love to experiment with this but I couldn’t expense the shipping, so happy it exists though. Hopefully someday I can get my hands on it
I bought this and was really bummed – attempted to recreate Vegan Proteins angel food cake recipe (she used this to make it and hers turned out perfect) – it was a flat sugary sweet mess. Still looking for an angel food cake recipe these will work with.
wow cool! i wonder if this kind of fermentation technique could be used for medicine/whatever they use egg proteins for to make vaccines. one can hope
Yum! These look fabulous
YAY! I remember you commented on my post in the fitness sub. Glad it worked out great for you and glad to see more word getting out about this product .
Can you make just scrambled egg whites with this?
40 calories for 9grams of protein? Where did you get this
Could you make vegan scrape egg whites with it, for breakfast with toast or something?
Im confused! How can it be animal free but still contain real egg? How does the fermentation work? I looked on their website but can’t find any further info on the science
I’m looking forward to seeing more uses for this product
Ooo this is interesting! Would it work the same way as meringue powder for things like royal icing?
i tend to whip up just a serving or two of sweets at a time— how many meringues would you say one serving of the powder yields?
How would this do in something like macarons? I would love to bake some of my favorite recipes that call for egg whites again that I had to say goodbye to when I went vegan.
