Made from algae

What is agar agar? This funny-named product is a carbohydrate that is extracted from the cell walls of various types of algae. Our ready-made powder is particularly suitable for gelling hot liquids as it must be boiled to become gelatinous. It becomes liquid at temperatures of 95°C and above and re-solidifies at around 45°C when cooled. Although the powder comes from algae, the taste is neutral and therefore ideal for preparing fruit spreads, cake icings or other solidified desserts and dishes. Our agar agar powder is a real vegan and vegetarian substitute for gelatine, an excellent thickener for soups or a binder for various sauces. If you always want to achieve a solid consistency that is completely plant-based, our agar agar powder is just the thing for you!
