SaporePuro Agar Agar Powder 1 kg - Plant-Based Gelling Agent

SaporePuro Agar Agar Powder, 1 kg

Agar agar is a natural gelling agent obtained from red algae. It is a plant-based substitute for gelatin, so it finds its way into vegan and vegetarian kitchens. The 1 kg pack is intended for people who prepare a lot of desserts or run a small food service business.

Properties

The powder dissolves in hot water (about 84°C) and gels during cooling, in the range of about 32-42°C. The manufacturer states a medium gel strength. It is tasteless and odorless, so it does not change the character of the dish, and it is gluten-free.

Use

It works as a thickener for fruit jellies, jams, puddings, bavarois-type desserts and ice cream. It is also suitable for molecular cuisine, including spherification. Unlike gelatin, the gel is stable at room temperature.

Store the powder in a dry place, tightly closed. Dosage depends on the recipe, so start with a small amount and adjust the consistency to your dessert.

For those interested in modern cooking: molecular cuisine includes spherification and gels with a controlled structure, and agar is a standard ingredient used for them. The kilogram pack keeps the cost of a single serving low.
