What Is Aquafaba And How To Use It Instead Of Eggs

🟢 Check Out These 17 Best Egg Substitutes for Baking and Cooking here: foodhow.com/eg...
You want to make a cake but you have run out of eggs. Or, perhaps you are vegan and you don’t eat eggs. No Problem, you can use Aquafaba instead.
Aquafaba is one of the many substitutes that is often used as a replacement for eggs. It works as a binding material in many recipes. Although most people probably have it in their kitchen, many people don’t know what it is.
So, What Is Aquafaba and How to Use This Easy Egg Substitute?
You may be surprised to learn that aquafaba is literally chickpea water. The word aquafaba is from the Latin, aqua means water and faba means bean. This liquid from a can of chickpeas is whipped into a white, frothy substance that works perfectly as a binding ingredient in recipes when you don’t want to use eggs.
Canned chickpeas or garbanzo beans are naturally starchy, and this starch leaches into the water when they’re cooked and canned. As a result, the leftover liquid is starchy and perfect for use as a binding ingredient. It also retains air, much like eggs. Although many recipes use eggs to keep their ingredients together, aquafaba is a vegan-friendly alternative. It’s also really cheap and easy to make, so it won’t mess up the timings in your recipe.
The same way you are whipping the egg whites, you can whip this leftover chickpea liquid using a whisk or an electric mixer. Sometimes, people add cream of tartar to make it even thicker.
Alternatively, you can add sugar and vanilla to make meringues! Aquafaba is really versatile and easy to make.
When cooked, it is flavorless. Raw aquafaba may carry a faint smell of chickpeas, but don’t worry - your final dish won’t taste starchy or take on the flavor of garbanzo beans. Instead, aquafaba will take on the flavor of other ingredients. Season it well, and you can make it taste like whatever you want!
If you’re following a recipe that uses eggs, you can still use aquafaba as a substitute. The exact proportion you need will depend on what you’re cooking, but use the following as a rule of thumb:
• One egg white equals 2 tablespoons of chickpea water
• One whole egg equals 3 tablespoons of chickpea water
You can use it in numerous ways. With dishes like meringue, simply replace the egg with some aquafaba and continue with the recipe as normal. This also works for any sort of baking or cooking. Some people also use aquafaba to make vegan scrambled eggs. Combine aquafaba and tofu in a blender, then scramble as normal, et voila! You got a delicious plate of vegan scrambled eggs.
Bear in mind though that the nutritional content of aquafaba recipes will be very different from those that use eggs. Since aquafaba is basically just starchy water, it holds very little nutritional value. In contrast, eggs contain lots of protein, fats, vitamins and minerals, and energy from calories.
If you are worried now about not getting enough nutrients, then don't. I have put together a list of 17 other egg substitutes, some of which are actually very nutritious.

[@katrinakatien1679]

Aquafaba is really a good replacement for eggs. It has lots of benefits. Thanks i have learned a lot like how to make it

[@jessicamenchaca4970]

Has anyone baked a cake with good results ? How do we ensure no allergy reactions , say it contains chickpeas only ?

[@MzCAGOMEA]

I think most of the time they sat chickpeas or chickpeas and salt. I have yet to get a cake to work with it but I never beat it like this before using it. I will try this next time. I have been using bobs Redmill egg replacer and my allergy kids have not had any problems with that. Some people use soda instead of eggs but that has never worked for me either. Maybe I just have a bad oven.

[@samuelansah5317]

I've heard of aquafaba of late but didn't know what it really was. Thanks for this piece.
