Quotes by Joe Yonan (?)

“When using aquafaba as a substitute for eggs in baked goods or as a thickener, 2 tablespoons of aquafaba equals one egg white, and 3 tablespoons of aquafaba equals one whole egg.”

“Sando isn’t the first to try to bring heirloom varieties of beans to a mainstream customer. Zürsun in Idaho, Baer’s Best in New England, and Timeless Natural Food in Minnesota are among the other companies with a commitment to the product.”
