What's it taste like to drink egg whites raw?

[slick1235676]

Is it bad, if you drink them do you add anything to them? I'm thinking about doing this.

[nuttybl]

try it!

[slick1235676]

tomorrow i already ate my egg whites.

[blinKme431]

Disgusting. It doesn't have much of a taste, but knowing what it is is enough to make you want to vomit.

[slick1235676]

I would sorta think it would taste good actually..

No....

just boil them or something, you get alot more advantages from it.

[slick1235676]

currently microwave them with a little salt

theres not really a way to describe how it tastes, it definately tastes bad though, like nothing youve tasted before. As for the texture it is all bound together so its not as though you coud sip it it all has to go down in one. If i were you i'd either carry on cooking them or just crap them into a blender and add some whey or whatever. Although drinkng them is possible on a regular basis i would not recomend it as it is not a pleasent experience. But for what its worth you might aswell just try it and see if you like it personally.

I tried eating an egg raw before, definitely wanted to throw up. If you really want to do it why not just blend it with some milk and oats.

tastes like cum. im serious.

dont take any hints from Rocky movies. Theres more benfit in shallow pan frying them then drinking them raw, and less risk of getting salmonella.

I bought a gallon of egg whites from Egg Whites International. They pasteurize them and remove any risk of salmonella, so technically you can drink them straight out of the bottle. But it's disgusting. They are odorless and flavorless. If you mix them with protein powder, all you're going to taste is the protein powder itself, which usually tastes like crap. If you blend them with some fruit juice it's easier to drink, but the texture's not too pleasant.

For some information

most of the information is coming from:
http://www.mercola.com/2002/nov/13/eggs.htm

though I can provide more sources if necessary

Salmonella from raw eggs:

"When you carefully analyze the risk of contracting salmonella from raw eggs, you will find that it is actually quite low. A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture earlier this year (Risk Analysis April 2002 22(2):203-18) showed that of the 69 billion eggs produced annually, only 2.3 million of them are contaminated with salmonella.

So simple math suggests that only 0.003 percent of eggs are infected. The translation is that only one in every 30,000 eggs is contaminated with salmonella. This gives you an idea of how uncommon this problem actually is.

While it is likely that I will consume more than 30,000 eggs in my lifetime, most of you will not. However, inevitably someone out there will find a salmonella-contaminated egg, so it is important to understand how to seriously decrease your risk of infection.

Salmonella infections are usually present only in traditionally raised commercial hens. If you are purchasing your eggs from healthy chickens this infection risk reduces dramatically. Remember, only sick chickens lay salmonella-contaminated eggs. If you are obtaining high quality, cage-free, organically fed, omega-3 enhanced chicken eggs as recommended above, the risk virtually disappears"

Against Raw Egg Whites (no yolks):

Revised Recommendations For Raw Egg Whites

Earlier this summer, I posted an article that suggested that one should not eat raw egg whites. This is the traditional nutritional dogma as raw egg whites contain a glycoprotein called avidin that is very effective at binding biotin, one of the B vitamins. The concern is that this can lead to a biotin deficiency. The simple solution is to cook the egg whites as this completely deactivates the avidin

Preparations
To learn more about my reasoning on eating your egg yolks raw, you can review my latest updated recommendations. If you choose not to eat your egg yolks raw, cooking them soft-boiled would be the next best option.

Scrambling your eggs would be one of the worst ways to eat eggs as it actually oxidizes the cholesterol in the egg yolk. If you have high cholesterol this may actually be a problem for you as the oxidized cholesterol may cause some damage in your body.

His breakfast
I personally consume at least three raw egg yolks every morning as part of my normal breakfast. It is my belief that consuming the yolk raw helps preserve many of the highly perishable nutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which are powerful prevention elements of the most common cause of blindness, age-related macular degeneration. This also means there is no sense in taking supplements for these incredible antioxidants when you get the nutrients for free from eggs. I now am actually throwing the white away, but one could make an argument to cook and eat it.





--------------------------

That being said, go for eating them raw if you want, but be careful regarding Biotin. I personally Boil my eggs and eat whites for breakfast (i'll do a dozen on sunday and with 3-4 a morning they'll last me most of the week.)

juss throw a couple in your protien drink an blend it up u cant even taste them i do it all teh time

[Patrick227]

Some have seen this as being a very bad habit. Apparently, dogs on the farm can develop an addiction to running a hen off of her eggs and breaking into a clutch of eggs and sucking out the whites and yolks. My late father used to have an expression, which he based on this, "That'll teach you to suck eggs!". He applied this to anyone who had fallen into error and had been taught by some discipline the error of his ways. So, I'm not sure this is any different than being hooked in other ways. Can someone clear this up for me?

[Roger999]

i like my egg whites half cooked and still a bit liquidy, tastes really nice , especially if you have a cooked yolk on it and popped it

[Ascendancy]

It tastes like salmonella to me.

[tigerstyle96]

Is it okay microwaving liquid egg whites?

[The_Nyne]

As to answer your question, I've found they really don't have a taste. I think it's all a mind thing really. But, be sure to cook your eggs. I don't know what the fascination with eggs is all of the sudden. But here is a good thread to get some information out of about the advantages to cooking eggs over eating them raw.
