Aquafaba, the starchy, nutrient-rich brine that remains after cooking beans or legumes, is commonly used as an egg replacer in plant-based products and now, Vör Foods is introducing an entirely new way for consumers to make the most of its properties with its 'Aquafaba Powder.'
The preservative-free, all-natural and non-GMO product is made with a proprietary process that transforms liquid into a shelf-stable powder that may be rehydrated and used to replace eggs in baking, condiments and other applications. Vör Foods describes that the versatile egg alternative has the potential to be used in everything from meringues and mousses to ice cream, marshmallows and mayonnaise.
As well as offering a simple, plant-based alternative to eggs, this product also makes a cost-effective and ecological substitute.
