Aqua…..what?

Aquafaba. It’s the liquid from chickpeas. Also known as garbanzo beans, chickpeas are legumes that are very nutrient dense. Rich in protein and fiber, they are great to add to salads or to use when making hummus. If you open a can of chickpeas, make sure to keep the liquid though. It can be used as a binding agent, to replace an egg, when baking. Approximately three tablespoons of chickpea liquid (aquafaba) replaces one egg. Try it the next time you are baking those healthy muffins!
