All You Need To Know About Packaged Liquid Egg Whites
If cracking open eggs, separating the yolks from the egg whites, and throwing the yolks away seems like a waste of time and eggs, that’s because it is — and egg producers around the country have created a solution: packaged liquid egg whites.

How Packaged Liquid Egg Whites Are Different
Packaged liquid egg whites are naturally runnier than egg whites separated from a whole egg because of the pasteurization process in manufacturing. This doesn’t change the nutrition content or taste of the liquid egg whites, but can make it more difficult to whip fluffy egg whites.
What happens to the yolks? Most egg producers sell the leftover yolks to ingredient customers, or retailers, foodservice operators such as grocery stores or restaurants. These ingredient customers use the egg yolks to make a variety of products, such as ice cream or salad dressing.
