Powdered eggs, tastes strange

[Arthur G]

Hi,

I recently purchased powdered eggs to take on trail. When trying it at home, the smell was completely different compared to normal eggs. I poured the reconstituted mix directly into my ramen, like I would do with normal eggs to make egg drop soup. The result was not egg drop soup. It tasted incredibly awful, and ended up in the nearest trash can.

I purchased eggylicious brand powdered eggs, and they expire in November of 2025.

Any advice is appreciated.

I ordered cinnamonster from amazon (#1 in powdered whole eggs) and the flavor is pretty good 👍 not like fresh eggs but comparable to a frozen omelet.

To me, powdered eggs don’t taste exactly like fresh eggs in ramen, but usually they’re not awful.

I use OvaEasy powdered eggs.  I usually use them in recipies that call for eggs.  Recently, I experimented with frying powdered eggs (as in an omelet).  To me, it tasted like airplane food.  Not the best but it would probably taste great on the trail.  My 2 cents.

Ditto on ovaeasy.  I opened one bag in spring, finished in fall, no spoilage.  It’s pasteurized which might help with long term storage, don’t know about other brands

So! You want freeze-dried raw eggs, not powdered, which are dehydrated. OvaEasy is a great start.
