The brand is "Just Whites" by Deb El. It is just dried egg whites,
nothing else. You add a measured amount of water to the measured amount
of powder to get egg whites for baking. 1 egg white is 2tsp of "Just
Whites" and 2 tbsp of water. Takes a lot of mixing.

I find "Just Whites" in the baking aisle of the supermarket. I whip
them up with sugar-substitute and add almond meal to make little cookies
for DH.
