Mashallah Lebanon has made us the most perfect condiment ever made. I am eating it with BBQ chips rn for the most intense vegan snack on the Earth.

    Every culture that eats beans has discarded their bean rinse water

    Because there hasn't been a need to create an egg substitute that produces recipes that traditionally just used egg.

    you don't really see recipes that have you cook the beans in their own rinse

    I thought the soak rinse was always discarded, the aquafaba is from the cooking water (either in a can or the pot it's boiled in)

    You can taste saponins, a quick google search suggests that there are definitely some people making extremely bitter aquafaba (i.e. likely with a high saponin quantity) but that's not supposed to be the outcome.
