Egg white left overnight

Is it mutar to use an egg white left overnight? e.g. if I separate an egg to use the yolk in a recipe, can I leave the egg white in a cup in the refrigerator overnight (or few days) for later use?

Lechatchilah you should add salt or sugar to the egg white if left over night.

  1. If I didn’t add anything to the egg whites should I throw them away?

    1. If it isn’t a big loss to you, then throw them out.
