Desserts with egg whites

The benefits of egg whites are not just limited to health; they are also the base for some delicious desserts.   There are ingredients we take for granted, that we don't appreciate enough, and egg whites are one of them. The uniqueness of this food is that it separates easily from its fatty part; very few ingredients can boast this, but in the case of egg whites, they can be separated from the yolk to obtain a product that is 100% protein. This protein contained in egg whites implies a significant energy content for the body and is therefore very helpful when trying to lose weight as it provides energy without contributing any fats or harmful calories. Another plus is that its components help with muscle definition, making it excellent for mixing with exercise. Just a month ago, there was a statement from a university in China where Professor Zhipeng Yu declared that the egg is the substance with the greatest benefit for controlling blood pressure among natural products. He also adds that it is beneficial for all ages, which is great given its high presence in different dishes and specialties from both Eastern and Western cuisine. Another interesting fact is that egg whites do not change their molecular structure when heated, so regardless of how you cook them, their natural characteristics will not change. Now, getting to the interesting part, the recipes that can be created with egg whites are endless, but here we mention a few to inspire you to cook them at home. Merengues are the obvious choice, as they are mostly made from egg whites. You can serve them with grated chocolate, a shot of coffee, or even fill them with fruit. When making cupcakes, you can also apply the technique of using egg whites instead of whole eggs to reduce fats while increasing the fluffiness and fineness of the final dessert. Cookies are another delicious alternative. If you prepare them with pure egg whites, you will get a crunchy finish but with a silky texture and light flavor. Last but not least are the famous macaroons. We all know they melt in your mouth when you eat them, and this is a result of the original recipe that includes egg whites as a main ingredient.
