Nutrition tip:
Aquafaba is the water obtained by cooking chickpeas. It can be used as an egg white alternative. After it is beaten with sugar, this liquid has a whisked texture and white color, just like egg whites. As a result, it can be used to make meringues, macarons and sponge cakes without using eggs. It's a 100% vegan technique.
