Protein-rich food product and method of making a protein-rich food product

A method of making a protein-rich food product, the method comprising:

• providing protein and water to form a protein mixture, wherein the protein consists substantially of albumen;
• aerating the protein mixture to make a whip having a smaller density than the protein mixture;
• forming the whip into a mass having a first thickness;
• and
• heating the mass at least until a plurality of bubbles within the mass burst creating a matrix including burst membranes forming air escape paths from the bubbles so that a quantity of air escapes from the plurality of bubbles and the mass and causes the first thickness to collapse to a second thickness smaller than the first thickness forming a flexible product with a fibrillated interior.
