Because protein is so important to muscle growth and repair, athletes are always looking for great sources of protein to add to their diets or ways to purify and simplify the sources they already use. Eggology knew this and also knew the role that eggs play in the diet of many bodybuilders and athletes. In the past, when using eggs solely as a source of protein the yolks would be separated from the whites and dumped down the drain. This waste happens not only because of the cholesterol and fat in the egg yolks but also due to egg whites being the only pure protein food source.

Eggology created 100% organic egg whites in 1993 in an effort to simplify this protein source that the body building and protein conscious world were already crazy about. Since that initial launch, eggology has expanded to sell egg white scrambles for in the microwave, high protein ice cream, and other high quality treats made with 100% pure egg whites. Egg whites were already a fairly simple food, but eggology seems to have made it easier and less wasteful to harness the pure protein.
