Aquafaba is beloved by vegans and plant-based eaters for its versatility and its ability to work well in many recipes. I've compiled a list of aquafaba recipes below.

About Aquafaba

As someone on a plant-based diet, I often find myself with plenty of leftover chickpea brine, also known as aquafaba. 

Technically, it can be any water from any type of bean. 

While I was already using aquafaba in dips like chickpeas with basil, I’ve since learned there are many more magical ways to use it. 

From meringues to royal icing, and I even use it in mayo! 

Ever since learning about its versatility, I now save chickpea liquid and store it in my fridge for 5-6 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months so that I have it on hand when needed. 

I much prefer the liquid from canned chickpeas over any other type as so far this has been the most reliable.

You might be asking yourself, "But doesn't it taste like beans?" In its raw form, it tastes like the beans it came from, but when used in cooking or baking, it isn't noticeable at all.

Now let's take a look at some delicious recipes to use it.
