Product Review: Egg Beaters 99% Real Eggs

People make lifestyle changes for a variety of reasons. Some wish to lose weight, maintain a healthy weight, or to control serious diseases such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure or heart disease.

Cholesterol Free, Fat Free, Low Calorie

For those who need to reduce the cholesterol in their diet, but who enjoy the taste of eggs on a regular basis, they can rest assured that they do not have to do without eggs altogether. Egg Beaters are 99% real eggs. They are cholesterol free, fat free and low calorie alternative to whole eggs.

I first came across Egg Beaters a few years ago. I wanted to make some positive changes in my diet and one aspect I wanted to concentrate on was lowering my intake of foods that were high in cholesterol such as eggs.

Alternative Egg Product: 99% Real Eggs

Egg Beaters are an alternative whole egg product, but the best thing is, you will not be eating an imitation style egg product, as Egg Beaters contain real egg whites, which are known to be cholesterol free.

A 907g (32 oz) container of Egg Beaters cost just $3.93. When I compared the unit price with the smaller cartons of Egg Beaters, this larger size worked out much cheaper. Egg Beaters are pasteurised and must be kept refrigerated and consumed 7 days after you open the carton. They can be frozen if you decide to buy Egg Beaters in bulk and then allowed to gradually thaw out in the fridge when you are ready to eat them.

Taste

Egg Beaters do not look or taste any different to whole eggs. They are light and fluffy and can be used in place of whole eggs when baking, preparing pancakes, omelettes and any other dish that calls for eggs.
