Bulk Aquafaba: Wholesale Formats, Specs and Pricing

Most people looking for bulk aquafaba have already hit the same wall. The product works, the numbers make sense at small scale, and then the question becomes where you get it in a quantity that supports actual production.

This page covers the formats, the specifications, and what buying at volume looks like, whether you are producing at scale, running service, or putting it on a shelf.

Why buyers move to bulk

The reasons are usually operational rather than culinary. The product has already been tested by the time someone is asking about case quantities.

• No raw egg in the process. Nothing to separate, nothing to hold under refrigeration in a prep area, no yolks to find a use for.
• Ambient storage until opening. Cases sit in dry storage rather than taking cold space.
• A measured input. It pours and weighs like any other liquid ingredient, which matters when a recipe is scaled and repeated.
• Plant based by default. One formulation change removes egg from a product without reformulating around it.

Formats and pricing

Plant Whip is supplied in one liter Tetra Pak cartons, twelve cartons per case.

For bakeries and food manufacturers

The number that matters in production is the substitution rate. Plant Whip replaces egg white one to one by weight, so an existing formulation converts without recalculating hydration around it.

One liter is approximately 33 egg whites. A case of twelve is approximately 400.

Where it fits is anywhere egg white is doing aeration or binding work: meringues, macarons, nougat, mousses, batters and doughs that rely on egg for structure. We covered the production detail in our guide to aquafaba in food production.

The operational argument is usually the one that closes it. Ambient cases, no cold chain until opening, no raw egg handling step in the process, and one ingredient line instead of two.

For bars, restaurants and foodservice

For a bar, the unit that matters is drinks per carton. At two tablespoons per drink, which replaces one egg white, a one liter carton is roughly 30 cocktails. A case of twelve is roughly 360.

In a kitchen, the same carton covers desserts, dressings and anything built on a whipped or bound base. Our guide to aquafaba in cocktails covers the technique and measurements behind the bar.

Most foodservice operators start with a single case before moving to standing orders. That is a sensible way in and we are happy to support it.

For retailers and distributors

Plant Whip is a shelf stable ambient product in a one liter carton, which puts it in the dry grocery set rather than chilled.

The category context is worth knowing. Aquafaba has established search demand from people who already know what it is and are actively looking for somewhere to buy it, which is a different proposition from a product that needs the category explained first. Cases are twelve units, and pallet configurations are quoted to requirement.

For assortment, margin and delivery conversations, request a quote and the team will pick it up directly.

Storage and handling at volume

Before opening. Store between 2 and 25 degrees Celsius at under 65% relative humidity. No refrigeration required, so cases can sit in dry storage for the full 15 month shelf life.

After opening. Refrigerate and use within 3 to 5 days. In a production environment that usually means opening to the day's requirement rather than ahead of it.

Rotation. Standard first in, first out. With 15 months of ambient shelf life there is room to hold stock without pressure, but the date should still drive the rotation.

Our guide to aquafaba shelf life and storage covers the detail.

How to order

Three routes, depending on where you are in the process.

• Request samples. If you want to test before committing, request samples from the wholesale page and a member of the team will follow up.
• Request a quote. For case or pallet pricing, send through your quantity and how often you expect to reorder. That is what determines the number.
• Order a case directly. If you want to move now, the 12-pack is available to buy without a quote.
