Agar-Agar Powder 40g – Natural Gelling, Thickening, and Stabilising Agent

Agar-agar powder (E406) is a natural gelling agent extracted from red seaweed, ideal for all your culinary preparations. Versatile and effective, it also acts as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabiliser, making it perfect for both sweet and savoury recipes.

Benefits of Agar-Agar

• 100% natural, derived from red seaweed with no additives.
• Highly effective: only 0.5 to 1% of the total preparation is needed, depending on the desired texture.
• Ideal for cooking: a plant-based alternative to animal gelatine, perfect for jellies, mousses, jams, and sauces.
• High in fibre, containing 83.9g of fibre per 100g, supporting good digestion.

How to Use

For best results, use between 0.5% and 1% of the total weight of your preparation. Agar-agar activates with heat: the mixture must be brought to the boil to trigger its gelling effect. It then sets upon cooling, ensuring a firm and stable texture.

Storage Advice

Store agar-agar in a dry place and in its sealed packaging to maintain its quality.
