Chickpeas
Known as garbanzo beans, they’re low in fat and sodium, high in protein, iron, vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. They’re a superfood with many health benefits.
Aquafaba
It’s chickpea water! When boiled, those golden little beans (‘faba’ in Latin) release their superfood magic. We then use this as a dairy/egg replacer in our sauces, so you can enjoy that creamy delicious flavor.
Once upon a time, there was a young, humble chef named Jess who found herself in a new city on a quest for purpose.
Having just completed her culinary degree at the Natural Gourmet Institute of NYC with a focus on vegan and plant-forward cooking, she found herself at a job interview that tasked her to prepare several vegan dishes.
Though nervous, nevertheless, this was her time to shine. The main dish needed a sauce to complement it, one that would best serve the meal if it were rich and creamy. In a moment of vivid clarity, Jess knew exactly what to do.
“Liquid gold” she exclaimed!
She knew that the water from a strained can of chickpeas (organic and BPA-free of course) possessed similar powers to that of an egg. Otherwise known as aquafaba.
From there, she whipped up this liquid gold, emulsified it with organic sunflower oil and then formulated a delicious blend of spices to provide unbridled flavor.
Upon the tasting of the meal and the moment she heard those fateful words “this is the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth”, Chef Jess could feel it in her heart, this was just the beginning to something greater.
Thus began her love affair with the chickpea and its watery by-product of aquafaba. Leading to the birth of Fabalish.
