What is a suitable substitute for egg whites?

A healthy diet is important to stay healthy and fit for a long time. That's why more and more people are paying attention to what they eat. At the same time, environmental protection plays a fundamental role in our society today.

Climate extremes and the extinction of species are just two factors that show that our nature can no longer be exploited.

For these reasons, people follow a vegan diet. They want to make a meaningful contribution to their bodies and our environment. A vegan diet means avoiding the consumption of all animal foods.

In this case, you need a substitute for egg whites, for example. In addition, vegans do not eat or drink cow's milk or products that contain it. Honey is also taboo.

What may sound complicated at first is actually not a big challenge with a little experience. Once you know which vegan foods you can use to replace animal products, you can prepare your meals as a matter of course.

To support you on this path, we have summarized in the next section why it makes sense to use substitute products instead of chicken eggs . You will also find out which foods are suitable for this as you read on.

It makes sense to replace an egg vegan not only when baking and cooking. Chickens also have to suffer for products in which eggs are processed.

Because the ban on keeping cages and killing male chicks after they hatch is more appearance than reality. The regulations only scratch the surface of the problem - many chickens still lead sad lives.

One reason for this is that the male animals can no longer be killed once they have hatched - but before then. For this reason, gender is determined in the egg. At this stage the animals can still be killed, even though they can already feel pain.

When the male animals are born, they are fattened and slaughtered fairly quickly because raising them is not economically viable. Some of them are also sold to countries where cage keeping is still permitted.

By the way, companies that carry the German or European organic seal also do this! There are exceptions for companies that have joined an organic association such as Bioland or Demeter or take part in the Bruderhahn initiative.

The female animals are bred for high egg production and often do not lead a species-appropriate existence. The so-called floor housing offers more space than the previous battery cages, but still far too little.

The animals are not allowed to go outside; they quickly become ill due to their high egg production. They are often slaughtered after just one year.

If you use egg substitutes , you are helping to end this suffering. It's easy these days to eat a vegan diet and still not have to miss out on anything!

There is a vegan alternative for all baking and cooking ingredients and the best vegan cake is guaranteed to convince even the last doubters that animal-free food is very tasty.

Would you like to replace eggs with a vegan product? Then you are already on your way to making an important contribution to reducing animal suffering and protecting our nature.

You don't have to look long for the alternative. Most supermarkets now have a good selection of vegan products , including egg substitutes.

Not only vegans use these, but also some people who have a protein allergy . You tolerate the substitute products better if they are made from a food that has a low protein value.

The egg alternative products are usually a powder that you mix fresh at home when you need it. This means it will last a while when packaged. Simply stir the liquid into the recipe instead of the egg.

The basis for the substitute product is often potato or corn starch, and lupine flour is also often used. It's best to look around at your local organic store or supermarket and try out different products.

You can also have egg alternatives delivered directly to your home via the Greenforce online shop. In the range you will find vegan egg substitutes for baking . This is organic and one hundred percent plant-based.

It is also gluten-free, so you don't have to worry about gluten intolerance. This will make your vegan baking dreams come true !

You can satisfy your appetite for scrambled eggs and omelettes with our vegan egg that you can mix yourself . It is low in fat and has no added soy and lactose. We use broad bean flour, a good vegan source of protein, as the basis for production.

• Flaxseed: You first have to let flaxseed soak in lukewarm water for some time. You need about 20 grams to replace one egg. Flaxseeds are available in dark and light versions. Both contain valuable omega-3 fatty acids, which is why they are not only a tasty but also a healthy option.
  
  
• Chia seeds: The procedure here is the same as with flax seeds, because you also have to soak them in water first. They are suitable for both savory pastries and sweet cookies. If you get bloating when you eat a lot of protein , you should be careful when consuming it.
  
  
• Soy yoghurt: Soy yoghurt, 60 grams per egg, is suitable for light and airy cakes and muffins. We recommend that you mix a little more baking powder into the dough here too.

If you want to prepare something savory, the recipe sometimes calls for an egg. An example is the preparation of burgers or patties. In this case you can use tomato paste. This also creates an attractive color.

Another option for replacing eggs is with a plant drink. This is usually based on one of the following foods :

• Oats
• soy
• Almonds
• Cashew
• Rice.

Each of the plant drinks tastes a little different. It's best to try out different varieties. Then you decide which version you like best and can use it for baking and cooking.

Plant-based milk is particularly suitable for preparing vegan pancakes . At the same time, it helps you if you, as a woman, constantly get flatulence from cow's milk. With a vegan alternative you can feel better because your everyday life is no longer affected by the symptoms.

For vegan pancakes you need flour, salt, mineral water - and as an alternative to the egg, your favorite plant milk. If you don't want to taste the plant drink, we recommend oat milk. There are around 150 ml of plant milk for every 100 grams of flour.

If you want the pancakes to be yellow in color, you can add a little turmeric to the batter. Then mix everything together and fry them on both sides with a little frying oil.

In addition to vegan substitutes for egg whites, there is an animal-free alternative for almost everything. Vegan fish fingers, schnitzel or Bolognese – theoretically, no animal has to die for any dish today.

If you prepare your own food, it is usually even easier to eat a vegan diet. Because some products that appear vegan sometimes still contain animal additives.

Therefore, always look for the official vegan logo when shopping. With a product with this symbol, you can be sure that no animal had to suffer for the ingredients.
