Aquafaba is a way to use the fibers, starches, and sugars released by cooking legumes, in this case chickpeas. The liquid reserved from cooking chickpeas can be whipped to form structures similar to whipped cream, or whipped egg. The similarities in texture allow whipped aquafaba to be used as a purely plant-based ingredient in vegan recipes.
