Chickpea aquafaba
Description
The image shows raw chickpeas in a jar, cooked chickpeas in a colander over a bowl where the cooking liquid has drained. This liquid is aquagabe.
Aquafaba is also the liquid leftover from a can of chickpeas and is the secret ingredient that gives a vegan meringue its fluffy and airy texture. Aquafaba has the same protein and starch structure as egg whites, making it the perfect egg substitute in many recipes.
