- Aquafaba, the liquid from chickpea cans, can replace egg whites in desserts and homemade mayonnaise.
- The ingredient can be whipped into Pavlova and crisp meringues, as well as used to make thick mayonnaise.
The cloudy liquid left in a can of chickpeas has become a useful ingredient in Czech kitchens rather than something to pour down the sink.
Known as aquafaba, it can replace egg whites and be whipped into airy desserts, including Pavlova and crisp meringues. It can also serve as the base for thick homemade mayonnaise.
The appeal is simple: a liquid often treated as waste can perform several familiar kitchen functions. The headline presents aquafaba as a small canned ingredient with unexpectedly broad uses.
