Dairy substitutes, staples in a vegan's kitchen - EGGS

I've not experimented with egg substitutes, but here are healthy alternatives, and they're nice to try, especially if you are monitoring your cholesterol.

Flax Egg: 1/2 cup whole fax seeds + 1 cup of water (3 tablespoons = 1 egg). This recipe is not to be eaten on its own; use as a binder in baking. A coffee grinder is excellent for blending.

Egg replacer. Powder egg replacer is best; many health foods stores carry it.
1 1/2 tablespoon powder egg replacer + 2 tablespoons of water = 1 egg.

Other egg substitutes: banana, tofu, and apple sauce; these are great when making desserts.
