Here's the Description, but do reveal the reason why one would not

want to use fresh eggs...(the product SEEMS legal):

Just Whites® a 100% fat-free, all-natural powdered egg white,

contains no artificial flavoring, coloring, additives or

preservatives, is 100% cholesterol-free, sugar free and high in

protein. Just Whites requires absolutely no refrigeration. Just

Whites is produced by Deb-El Foods Corporation, one of the country's

leading manufacturers of egg products to the commercial food

industry. Just Whites is the perfect alternative for cooking and

baking including quiche, muffins, cakes and protein shakes, etc. and

is a healthy way to reduce your fat and cholesterol intakes.

- Easy to Use for Healthy Baking & Cooking

- Cholesterol Free

- Fat Free

- Sugar Free

- Equal to 57 Egg Whites

1. Use the table below to determine the amount of Just Whites and

water to use:

No. of Egg Whites Just Whites Water

--------------------------------------------------------------

1 2 tsp. 2 Tbsp.

2 4 tsp. 1/4 cup

3 2 Tbsp. 6 Tbsp.

6 1/4 cup 3/4 cup

8 1/3 cup 1 cup

12 1/2 cup 1-1/2 cups

2. Add Just Whites to warm water. Stir gently for 2 minutes giving

the powder time to absorb all the water. Continue to stir until

completely dissolved. For best results, use a whisk. To obtain foamy,

soft, or hard-peak stage, use an electric or hand-mixer, as you would

for fresh egg whites.

3. Just Whites can be added to dry ingredients in any recipe calling

for egg whites. Just remember to add water or fruit juice in amounts

specified in table above to any liquid (including water) called for

in the recipe.

The shelf life of Just Whites is a minimum of five years. A julian

code date is used on the canisters - the middle three numbers will be

the day of the year the product was packaged on. The second number in

the code indicates the year. `0' being 2000, `1' being 2001, etc.

Store in a dry place. No refrigeration required. Salmonella Negative -

Pasteurized for Safety.

I seem to remember Elaine asking SCDers not to use powdered egg whites.....

even if they " seem " legal.

any powdered eggs are heavily oxidised from spray drying and this

ruins a lot of the nutritents in them.

Combine these two. Patti & have a point. Fresh eggs are what

you want. You can literally buy them ANYwhere. Is it the (for some

not-so-easy) separation of egg yolk & egg white that is concerning

you, perhaps?

My son is intolerant of the yolks and I end up throwing them out. So

I would rather use the eggwhites. But that oxodising/lack of

nutrients worries me, so I will probably stay away from them.
