Density 60 · +25 vs Dairy & eggs medianThis powdered egg substitute scores 60 of 100, a Good band placement 7th of 60 in dairy and eggs and well clear of the category median of 35. Protein dominates at a striking 111% of the daily value per 100 grams, with vitamin A adding 41%, calcium 25%, and iron 18%.
Meant to be whisked with water to stand in for whole eggs in scrambles or baking, the powder concentrates everything, including the parts worth watching. It is flagged high in sodium at 800 mg per 100 g, high in sugars at 21.8 g per 100 g, and notable in cholesterol at 572 mg per 100 g, so sticking to the roughly 10 gram serving size matters more than with fresh eggs.
