If you have a peanut allergy, please read: I learned about aquafaba from my younger brother who suffers from a severe peanut allergy. He ordered a cocktail at a bar that substituted egg whites for aquafaba so the drink would be vegan friendly. This was not disclosed on the cocktail menu and he had an allergic reaction. The staff felt horrible after connecting the dots, and his drink and meal were taken care of, but I wanted to share as a warning for anyone with a peanut allergy. be ware of aquafaba in cocktails
- ar-nelson 6y agoStrange... is it common for peanut allergies to be triggered by other legumes, like chickpeas? I'm allergic to peanuts but have never had problems with other legumes, or aquafaba.
- mikeg8 6y agoInteresting. My younger brother stays away from all legumes. Chickpeas have caused reactions for him in the past, although much less severe than a peanut.
- ar-nelson 6y agoMaybe it depends on the severity. My peanut allergy is very unpleasant, but not anaphylactic as far as I know; I can deal with it with just Benadryl.
