I am always amazed that the water from a jar of chickpeas can transform so beautifully and deliciously–and it’s completely vegan!

Only problem is it’s stinky. Used to offer it as a vegan alternative to egg white foam in cocktails at the bar I worked in, and we had to put bitters in a spray bottle to spritz over the top to cover up the smell.

Yeah, on its own it’s a bit funky, but once mixed with some vanilla or sugar any strange smell isn’t noticeable. That’s great you had vegan alternatives at that bar!

I have tinctures of a bunch of citrus fruits (basically just soak peels in high proof neutral spirits) in small spray bottles, and they work great for that. It’s nice for at home when you want to add a little lemon aroma to something, but dont want to cut into a lemon just for a section of peel.

Nice try, OP. 🙂

Aquafaba is fascinating. I made meringues with it and honestly could not tell that they were vegan. I accidentally used salted chickpeas once though and that was a mistake.

Yeah, just don’t use it too often. And avoid using it from cans, BPA-free usually means they used BPS instead

I understand your concern about the cans. But why should we not use chickpea water too often?

I’ve heard it can give you gas. Just an oblique fart joke
Haha, haven’t thought about that before! I would argue that it’s still worth it, even with a bit of gas 😄

It’s an incentive to use more 😊 perhaps we van put some lentils in the mix?

Why not use it too often? I get dried chickpeas so it’s usually a waste product from soaking them.

Glass is best. I usually only see them dried or in cans around here.
