About Boiled eggs without yolk

Boiled eggs without yolks are a simple, high-protein food derived from separating the egg white (albumen) from the yolk. This practice is common in many cuisines worldwide, especially in Western and Asian diets where eggs are a staple ingredient. Egg whites are low in calories and contain almost all of the egg's protein, with around 3.6 grams of protein per large egg white. They are virtually fat-free and cholesterol-free, making them a popular option for individuals monitoring fat or cholesterol intake, such as bodybuilders and those with cardiovascular concerns.
