Benefits of Egg Whites
Both egg whites and egg yolks have their own health benefits.
Eggs are a great source of inexpensive, high quality protein. More than half the protein of an egg is found in the egg white along with vitamin B2 and lower amounts of fat and cholesterol than the yolk. The whites are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper. Egg whites are a low-calorie and perfect to aid in weight loss.
