FAQ
- Can I use the Chickpea flour cooking liquid as part of the measurement?
- Only if the recipe asks for it (e.g. aquafaba). Otherwise, drain thoroughly: cooking liquid adds variable weight and distorts the reading.
- Can I swap Chickpea flour for another cooked grain/legume at the same gram weight?
- Mass equivalence works; hydration ratio and texture vary. Cooked quinoa, lentils and rice absorb different amounts of liquid per gram — taste-test when you swap.
