Egg powder

[sponge]

I know this has probably been covered before, but there are always new companies etc manufacturing/selling it..

So for those that use egg white powder, where do you get it from?

and costs?

cheers

[startinfromscratch]

im a baker, and i used to order it from a company called bakels, though its called acti-white, used for mereinges, pavs.

also you can actually buy 2 litre bottles of straight, natural egg white, ive used this in the past for baking aswell - but they come in a box of 6 bottles and im not sure if they would sell straight to public...

I use frozen/pasteurised egg whites from Eggcel, and they do powdered egg whites as well.

The frozen/ pasteurised ones get around the risk with eating 'raw' egg whites - and they will ship 6x 1l bottles around at least the North Island.

How many egg whites would it take to make 5kg worth, because dam, that's seems pretty expensive if you ask me.

[teamfatboy]

Eggcel says their 5kg bag is 1300 eggs.

For me, the liquid eggwhites from Eggcel worked out about the same $ cost as a trayful from New World...sure, I was losing all the yolks, but weighed that up against the convenience of not having to cook raw egg whites before eating, and wasn't having to waste time and gas to go to Moore Wilsons or some other wholesaler to buy cheap eggs.

What do you do with the egg white powder? Do you mix it into a shake?

basically, yeah. just like whey except slower digesting.

[boostinggtir]

Hmm I'm kind of interested, you could consume some serious amounts of protein with minimal effort with these products.

[HQ308]

Does it have any adverse effects when used often?

yes this is true, but like with whey it leaves you hungry an hour or two later

i'm waiting to hear back from a mate that used buy 4l containers of liquid egg whites. 200ml = 12 egg whites approx. got to be good for shakes and omlettes etc if it can be found.

[gazza]

for anyone that is interested Leith Distributors in dunedin sell 4kg containers of liquid egg whites for $22.64 retail. you need to order it a day or two in advance.

hope this helps?

That's a good price - are they frozen/pasteurised, or 'raw' (i.e. you should cook them before eating) ?

I barely noticed any egg taste when mixing them with any flavoured protein powder. Pop them in a blender, whizz for maybe 15-20s, drink, job done!

lady on the phone wasn't too sure, they cook with them so i would imagine that they are "raw", but a quick phone call to them could possibly clear this up

[teamfatboy]

Thanks Gazza, might give them a ring, but right now I'm not going thru so many...

I use the Eggcell powder in pancakes - 15g eggwhite powder, 15g whey, 15g oats and a pinch of baking powder - a little water and they make the yummiest pancakes! sometimes I add blueberries, cherries etc. Breakfast almost every day

Eggwhite omlettes - ~20g of powder, whizz it up with a hand mixer. SO much better than wasting all those yolks - add fresh herbs and some low fat cheese and you are in there

crepes - same recipe as pancakes but without the oats, just add more water and pour a thin layer onto a super-hot skillet and fill with sludge of choice.

so is egg protein powder better then whey isolate?

[HaNs]

so is egg protein powder better then whey isolate?

Eggs = slow absorbing

Isolate = fast

Think its 1 cup of egg whites = 25g protein

How can that be/?

Half the protein in a egg is contained in the yolk

a egg has 6-7 gms..lets say 6 for simplicity

so 3 grams only in the white....so thats 25/3... thats rougly 8 eggs compard to one scoop of good powder lol

There is more in the white...not much more
