What is Egg Substitute

A product used to replace whole eggs thus reducing the fat and cholesterol consumed compared to natural eggs. Most liquid egg substitutes are in fact made from egg whites. Brands we've tested have a flavor very close to that of fresh eggs. Read labels carefully because ingredients can vary including addition of various food additives you may wish to avoid.
