If not how many calories is in the stuff? I find it good for thickening things
If the nutritional label does not say drained then it includes it. It’s just water, salt and starches from the beans.
If they intend you to drain something to get the nutritional values printed they actually have to mark it as such. You see this all the time in things canned with olive oil.
Is it listed on the written ‘ingredients‘? If so, I’d almost be certain that it is. If it’s edible and included in the ingredients then surely it’s included?
Hoping for a pro-nutrionist to storm in and debunk this one for good. Where are you at you nutrionally balanced knight in shining armour??
I think it’s included because there aren’t 3.5 1/2 cup servings (what the can claims) if you try to measure the drained beans.
But the calories in the liquid are negligible:
> In short, if you’re interested in calories, there’s about 3-5 calories per US Tbsp of aquafaba, and the concentrations of everything else is so low as to not even register on a US FDA food label. http://aquafaba.com/nutrition.html
You are right I never thought of this…. but some people told me it’s better to through that liquid it is not good. In reference I was in hostel with friends in an international community, all being not so well cooks
