the aquafaba backstory

On a personal level, I have always had a passion for being innovative and an inventor of some unique product that the world needed. The discovery of what that product might be came to me when I wasn't at all expecting it. I had started making hummus with an excess of chickpeas that I had accumulated (my husband is a chickpea farmer). My friends and family raved about how good it tasted and I joked to my husband that I should make and market “Hadenʼs Hummus” and sell it to grocery stores.

The "Why" for haden's aquafaba

The biggest question I was faced with from assertive vegans who questioned my productʼs necessity was, “Why would I buy your aquafaba, if I can just make my own?” Back to them, I emphasized the value of READY-TO-USE.

the difficult process

  • Get The Right chickpeas

    Hopefully you have salt-free, organic chickpeas on hand in a non-BPA lined can.

  • Drain The Aquafaba and Reduce

    After you drain the aquafaba (bean juice) you then need to reduce it on the stove by at least half to achieve the consistency that you will need to replicate what an egg does.

  • Let It Rest

    After slow boiling it and letting it rest, you maybe have 1/4 cup of juice left, (equivalent to less than 2 eggs).

  • Refrigerate Overnight

    Now it needs to be refrigerated until it is very cold. That will take several hours or overnight.
