Aquafaba

Aquafaba

Aquafaba is the liquid leftover from boiling chickpeas. Whether you drain a can of store-bought chickpeas, or boil your own, be sure never to dispose of this liquid gold! Aquafaba is a magical ingredient and the best egg replacer we’ve come across. This recipe explains how to boil your own chickpeas for homemade aquafaba. Adjust quantities as needed, aquafaba will last for 1 week in the fridge and even longer in the freezer. We suggest filling ice cube trays and defrosting as needed!
