Finding the right plant-based alternatives in the kitchen can be a challenge, especially when you strive for a conscious and healthy lifestyle for the whole family. Traditional binding agents do not always fit within a vegetarian or vegan diet, which can limit your creativity in the kitchen. Jacob Hooy Agar agar ground offers the perfect, natural solution. This plant-based gelling agent supports your daily routine by providing a reliable and animal-friendly alternative to classic gelatine.

Key benefits

• 100% plant-based: Completely vegan gelling agent obtained from algae, ideal as a replacement for animal gelatine in all your recipes.
• Strong gelling power: Very efficient to use, with just 1 gram of agar-agar replacing approximately 3 grams of traditional gelatine.
• Neutral taste and odour: Does not affect the taste of your dishes, making it suitable for both sweet and savoury preparations.

How it works

Agar-agar is a natural binding agent obtained from red algae. It has the unique property of giving liquids firmness once boiling point has been reached and they subsequently cool. Thanks to this natural structure, it is an excellent aid for making jelly, pudding, custard and other dishes where binding is desired. Jacob Hooy guarantees a carefully formulated product that meets strict quality requirements, so you can cook with peace of mind.
