Finding the right plant-based binding agent that works effectively and fits into a conscious lifestyle can be a challenge. Traditional gelling agents often contain animal ingredients or unnecessary additives that do not align with your preference for pure, natural food. VitAdvice Agar Agar Powder Organic offers a reliable, 100% plant-based alternative to gelatine. This organic powder helps you to prepare the finest dishes with peace of mind, while you retain control over the ingredients in your family's kitchen.
Agar-agar, also known as Kanten, is a natural extract derived from red algae. It has excellent gelling power that is activated by heating and subsequent cooling. Because it is rich in soluble fibre and virtually free of fats and sugars, it provides a light and responsible structure to your dishes. The gelling power depends on the acidity of the ingredients you are working with, which gives you the flexibility to precisely adjust the texture of your jelly, desserts or spreads.

Suitable for all dishes that require a gelling agent, whether they are savoury or sweet: jelly, jam, desserts, aspics... The gelling power depends on the acidity: acidic dishes will require a little more Agar-Agar. Do not combine with chocolate or kiwi, as these two products neutralise its gelling effect. Use: for jam: 4 g Agar-Agar in powder form for 1 kg of cleaned fruit or 1 l of fruit juice. Bring the fruit and the Agar-Agar to the boil, then add a sweetener of your choice. Thicken to the desired consistency.
