Hi all,
Well, for a long time I was envious of my American friends who were able to buy the liquid pasteurized egg whites over there via their Egg Whites International, who cannot ship here.
Now, we Canadians have a source too! I read about this on another fitness forum and checked it out. I was very pleased.
The company is called EggSel. Here's the link (they revamped their website and logo too, which is much better!):
http://www.eggsel.com/
Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Eggselcom/157260104294922?ref=ts
They sell the egg whites from 1/2 case to full cases (discounts on "2 full cases" and "3 full cases"). Each full case (about 26lbs) has four 3.1 liter containers about 7" x 7" square. LOTS of egg whites in each! The whites are 100% bio-available and they're flash-frozen and shipped that way, delivered next day by UPS. They're shipped from Brantford, ON. where their warehouse is located.
They had a promo which ended last week (it was for a Jay Cutler show) and I barely made it for that sale (it was 1 case for $49.99 including shipping---hope they do a sale again). Regular price is $64.95 (Ontario) and $73.99 (outside Ontario). Price includes taxes and shipping!
************
I was just going to post the links, but since I've already tried the product and experienced their service, so I'll write about that too.
I ordered last Tuesday (I paid by PayPal), picked my case up at the UPS store down the street the next evening. I was at a client's office all day and can't get deliveries there. The case was well-packed, tight (styrofoam insulation inside) and each container is individually wrapped in clear, sealed plastic bags.
I even got a free T-Shirt with their new logo on it. :D
***
I placed my first container in the fridge immediately to thaw, to use it for that coming weekend. It took about 2-3 days (as they recommended) but had a few tiny bits of ice still, as I was anxious to try it over the weekend :D).
My Personal uses (only 2 days) so far:
With Protein Shake
On Saturday, I tried it with one of the TrueSupplements samples (Vanilla) I received the same week and it was fantastic! Just the protein powder and the egg whites. No water or anything. Easy to mix. I just used a shaker cup and drank it straight down, no problem---great texture and taste, going down. :)
With Pancakes
On Sunday, I also used them with my weekend 5-grain, blueberry pancakes that I usually make. This time, instead of water, I blended my pancake mix with pure egg whites. I'll tell ya, those pancakes tasted great, and I noticed how much fluffier/thicker they were too. Very easy to mix. Filling doesn't even describe it. I Washed it down with a protein shake.
I had no digestive problems whatsoever with the shake or the pancakes. I haven't had a chance to make my omelettes or scrambled eggs yet with it, but I'll save that for next weekend. :) Right now it's with quick protein shakes every day.
Once thawed, they recommend using it up in 14 days. My current case has a "Best Before" date of August 2011, so that gives you an idea of how long you can store your egg whites in your freezer before thawing. :)
Anyway, I'm still ecstatic that there's even a place in Canada that makes and sells this stuff! More details are at the site (they even have a research and recipes page) and they're very accessible if you have any questions or suggestions. Great communication via email and on Facebook too! That's one thing I'm very picky about. I haven't used their website form yet, or contacted by phone, but I'm sure they're just as accessible that way as email. I hope they get plenty of customers so they stay in business.
Hopefully those of you interested in liquid egg whites will check EggSel out and describe your experiences with them.
