egg white

egg white
Noun
pl: egg whites

This term refers specifically to the albumen of an egg. In culinary contexts, it is often discussed in terms of its ability to be whipped into a foam, a process that traps air to create volume and lightness in desserts like meringues or souffles.

While the term is used commonly in recipes, it is a compound noun. When referring to the substance in a general or scientific sense, it is often treated as an uncountable mass, but it becomes countable when referring to the whites from individual eggs.
