Why Egg Whites?
Kirkland egg whites are a healthier alternative to whole eggs. They have no fat or cholesterol and are low in calories.
While they can lack flavor compared to whole eggs, they are a great source of protein and are eaten by many who are looking to improve their health.
Easy to Use Egg Whites
When I went through my no egg yolk phase, I discarded the egg yolk when making breakfast. It was always a pain to get rid of the egg yolk while preserving as much egg white as possible.
This liquid egg white from Costco will make life a lot easier for those who can’t or don’t want to eat egg yolks.
Costco Liquid Egg White - Whole Egg Equivalent and Prices
10 Whole Egg Equivalents Per Carton
I had to really examine the box to figure out that there was the equivalent of 60 whole eggs in the entire package. Each serving is 3 tablespoons and is equal to one whole egg with yolk, and each carton has 10 servings.
One whole carton is the equivalent of 10 large eggs with the yolk.
15 Egg Whites Per Carton
The most interesting part is that two tablespoons of Costco’s egg whites are equivalent to the egg white of one shelled egg.
If I understand correctly, each carton contains 30 tablespoons and has the egg white of 15 eggs.
Only Slightly More Expensive than Whole Eggs
At $1.58 a carton, they are a touch more expensive than a dozen whole eggs. It’s a small premium to pay to avoid having to separate the egg yolks yourself.
If you are going for strictly egg whites and have no use for egg yolk, then you are getting egg white from 15 eggs for $1.58. That is a total steal!
Costco Egg White Taste Test
Egg Whites are an Easy and Excellent Substitute for Whole Eggs
At the CFDB household, we have an all-day breakfast policy; we’ll eat eggs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and we go through eggs quickly. We weren’t going to have any trouble using the egg whites as a substitute in our regular breakfast meals.
How do the Costco Egg Whites Taste?
The texture was no different than your typical egg white, and just like regular eggs, it’s imperative to properly season them.
There is a flavor difference between a whole egg and egg whites.
Not as Good as Regular Eggs With Yolk
We both agreed that the liquid egg whites did not taste as good as the egg with the yolk and that it was more bland and neutral in flavor.
This is to be expected, considering the creamy egg yolk is removed.
Still Tasty!
While lacking a little flavor, the egg was still tasty and enjoyable. The Costco egg whites integrated into the meal very nicely and didn’t feel out of place.
The egg whites did a great job of balancing and completing each of our meals.
Less Cooking Options than Traditional Whole Eggs
One downside to liquid egg whites is fewer traditional egg cooking options.
You won’t be able to utilize some cooking methods that require egg yolks, such as over-easy, poached, or soft-boiled eggs.
Liquid egg whites won’t be as tasty or as versatile as regular whole eggs, but they make up for it in nutrition and health benefits.
Pro-Tip: Combine Kirkland Signature liquid egg whites with a whole egg to get the best of both worlds.
Healthy Egg White Recipes
Egg whites can be cooked similarly to whole eggs but often need an additional flavor boost.
