How it works

Agar-agar is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the cell walls of red algae. The powder dissolves in warm liquids and forms a firm, stable gel upon cooling, even at room temperature. Thanks to its neutral smell and taste, it does not affect the flavour of your dishes. It supports a conscious kitchen and helps you create healthy, homemade treats for the whole family.
