Chickpea Milk

The chickpea has fed the Mediterranean and Middle East since it was first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent some 10,000 years ago, yet chickpea milk is one of the newest ideas in the dairy-free aisle. Anyone who's whipped aquafaba (the foaming liquid from a chickpea tin) will see why food scientists got excited: chickpea protein froths and holds like a dream. Early commercial versions, such as Canada's Yofiit, pair chickpeas with flax for a high-protein, allergen-friendly pour, while ingredient specialists like Israel's ChickP are developing barista formulations for the trade. Expect a mild, softly earthy, lightly nutty flavour that gets on well with coffee. It's still early days — but keep an eye on this one.
