Egg substitutes are plant-based or synthetic alternatives designed to replicate the function of eggs in cooking and baking. Common ingredients include tofu, chickpea flour, starches, and aquafaba (the liquid from cooked chickpeas), as well as commercial blends made from potato starch and tapioca flour. Originating from a demand for vegan, allergy-friendly, or cholesterol-free options, egg substitutes feature heavily in vegan and health-conscious cuisines. They are free of cholesterol and lower in saturated fat compared to traditional eggs, making them a heart-healthy choice. Additionally, they often provide fiber and are suitable for individuals avoiding animal products or managing food sensitivities. However, some processed products may contain added sodium or artificial stabilizers, so checking labels is recommended. Versatile and eco-friendly, egg substitutes are increasingly popular for their ability to support both dietary needs and sustainable food practices.
