NO! Egg beaters are made from eggs. BEWARE.

i thought that was the whole point of them, you can eat them if you cant eat regular eggs.

yes. but they may be a bit hard.

If all you're allergic to is the yolk, then maybe. They still contain traces of yolk, but basically they are 99.5% egg whites.

No. The reason for egg beaters is for people who want to avoid the fat and cholesterol that comes in the yolk of whole eggs. If you have an egg allergy, don't eat egg beaters.

You might try substituting tofu. It has kind of an egg texture.

NO! Egg beaters are made from egg whites. If you are allergic to eggs, do not eat these.

Visit your local natural foods store and find a true egg-substitute. The subs come in both powdered form (great for cooking/baking) and liquid form (though I don't recommend eating them scrambled... icky).

Best of luck!
