Egg Beaters are an egg substitute product suitable for people who wish to follow a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. This product is easy to prepare and can purchased at most American grocery stores and supermarkets.
Significance
For years, the American Heart Association has been recommending that individuals limit their saturated and cholesterol intake in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. As a result, Egg Beaters egg substitute was created. This egg substitute contains high-quality protein without the fat and cholesterol normally found in egg yolks.
Function
Egg Beaters are used to replace eggs in a number of dishes. Most commonly, Egg Beaters are substituted for scrambled eggs as a source of protein for breakfast. This product can be prepared exactly the same way that normal scrambled eggs are prepared, although sometimes their fluffiness may not quite be the same as regular eggs. Egg Beaters can also be used to add protein in other prepared items. Because they are a pasteurized food product, they can be safely added to protein shakes.

Egg Beaters come in a variety of types. The original version has 30 calories per serving and has a yellow coloration, whereas the Egg Beaters Whites has only 25 calories and is entirely made up egg whites with no artificial colors. Eggs Beaters Garden Vegetable has celery, peppers, onions, and herbs added to it, and similarly the Egg Beaters Southwestern has peppers, onions, and spices added to give it a distinct flavor.
