Aquafaba should be stored in a sealed mason jar in the refrigerator where it will last for up to a week. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. I like to freeze it in increments of 2, 3 and 6 tablespoons for future use. If doing so, I suggest labeling each amount on the mason jar lid.
Who invented Aqua faba?
Wohlt
Building on French tenor Joël Roessel’s experiments with the molecular gastronomy of bean water, Wohlt discovered that chickpea brine, when whipped, had all the properties of egg whites. He later invented the name “aquafaba” for his discovery, based on the Latin words for “water” and “bean”.

What is aquafaba and how do you use it?
Aquafaba is bean cooking liquid or the liquid in a can of beans. Most often, when we talk about aquafaba, we are specifically talking about the cooking liquid of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) or the liquid in a can of chickpeas. Not too long ago, whenever Adam and I cooked chickpeas or opened a can of chickpeas, we tossed the liquid down the drain.
