9 Vegan Aquafaba Recipes: Discover the Deliciousness of ‘Chickpea Juice’

Share

Do you ever find yourself wondering what to do with the brine that oozes off a can of chickpeas? Well, wonder no more!

Literally translated, aquafaba means “bean water”.

For newbies to the aquafaba fan-group, this slimy juice is well-known for closely emulating the texture of egg white, and when whipped up – a close twin to meringue.

Not only is aquafaba free from hormones, steroids, and cholesterol that can be found in egg whites produced by a chicken – it’s cheaper too! A large can is often sold for around $2, and since most recipes only require 3 teaspoons of aquafaba to replace one egg, this plant-based option is an affordable alternative and lasts up to five days in the fridge. Aquafaba freezes well, too.

So, get that egg beater out and get your vegan bake on!
