  • We've seen your comments asking about vegan baking and egg substitutes -- so in this episode of Bite Size, Erin's demonstrating how to prepare and use aquafaba, the incredible liquid that comes from cooking beans. It whips up just like eggs and can be used as a substitute for eggs and egg whites in everything from baked goods to mayo. It can even hold a meringue! (Pro tip: freeze the liquid whenever you make a pot of beans and you'll always have some on hand).

    I've just realised acquafaba meringue would be ideal in those fancy cocktails where you end up hoping the liquor kills the bacteria before the bacteria kill you, as well as in old fashioned chocolate mouses where you use uncooked egg whites. Genius!

    • @teekotrain6845
      @teekotrain6845 3 роки тому +6

      Yeah. It IS perfect as a replacement. I'll keep my element of danger in my cocktails tho.

      All the bars I've worked at that use egg white will just buy pasteurised egg whites. That said, I've worked in one bar that used aquafaba, you just had to be careful not to add too much or the smell comes through.

    This was such a fun video, I was excited to learn that you can store aquafaba, and in ice cube containers, what a brilliant idea! As a very longtime vegan I just wanted to let people know that the whole thing about sugar not being vegan is really a myth nowadays and processing with bone char is actually no longer used most of the time. It might be different in the US I suppose but here in Canada, the largest sugar company Redpath definitely does NOT use bone char to process their sugar, and because of the whole sugar myth thing they did a big campaign here several years ago to try to get the word out that YES their sugar is vegan! They even used to be a sponsor of the Totally Fabulous Vegan Bake-Off here in Toronto, fun fact! :)

    I'm not vegan, but I regularly make red bean paste to sweeten and flavor my Greek yogurt. I felt like it was a waste to pour the remaining liquid down the drain after getting my paste to the right consistency, so I'm glad I looked into how it can be used. I'm going to try making meringues with the extra liquid this weekend!

      Don't use the left over water in the can it's in their only to keep the vegitable whatever bit may be from rotting. That water is not supposed to be consumed it's full of pesticides, preservatives, chemicals and random chemical salts. It's poisonous. This Baker doesn't know what she's talking about. Go do your research.

    • @coffeeNlemoncheesecake

      Dr. Reaney’s research demonstrated the presence of saponins in aquafaba responsible for its soap-like foaming effect. This confirmed a hunch to that effect prior to testing. These chemicals are dangerous to human health, contributing to the development of leaky gut and potentially a miscarriage risk. More on this with citations below.

    Thank you for this. I reduced my chickpea water by about half - at a guess. I thought “oh well.. it might get a thicker cream at least”. I also added in a little too much cream of tarter - maybe 2/3 of a teaspoon. Result = great consistency but super strong flavour of canned chick peas and tarter. So then I started all over again and this time didn’t reduce my canned chickpea water at all and added much less tarter.. Result = fluffed up perfectly and didn’t taste as strong. Much more palatable. So after trying this recipe, my advice would be not to reduce the canned water. But yes a fun thing to make!
