Among the 20 eggs in the database, dried whole egg ranks 3rd by protein per serving, and 266th out of all 796 foods on the site. Set against turkey egg, another egg entry in the database, a serving carries about 2.9 g more protein (turkey egg has 10.8 g per 1 egg).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving above is measured by weight at 28.4 g. The per-100 g figure lets you compare it directly against any other food here, whatever its serving.
Drying removes water and concentrates the protein by weight.
