Can you eat egg whites raw?!?

  • Last night when I was making the strawberry pudding "cake" the "batter" was absolutely amazing so I just want to eat it and not bake it. Do raw egg whites make you sick. Sorry if this is a stupid question!
  • I lick the bowl and spoon every time I make pudding cakes and haven't had a problem with it. As to eating the whole bowl??? Couldn't say, but I definitely agree that it is so good!
  • Well,
    If you buy your egg whites in a carton, I believe they are pasteurized (don't quote me though) Most discourage eating raw eggs anymore, because of bacteria.
  • If you don't mind playing Russian roulette with raw egg whites and samonella, eat it. You could become very, very sick.
  • I agree with Quilter. Not a chance I am willing to take with salmonella. I knew someone who ended up on the hospital with it.
  • Good to know! TY!
