How it works
Agar-agar is a natural binding agent extracted from red algae. It possesses a strong gelling power that is activated by heating. As soon as the liquid cools down, a stable and firm structure is formed. This makes it an excellent and neutrally flavoured alternative to traditional animal gelatine. It supports the retention of the desired consistency in your dishes, without affecting the taste of your ingredients.

Usage & Dosage
Two sachets of 2 grams are sufficient to set 1.5 to 2 litres of preparation. Mix the powder into the cold liquid and bring the whole to a boil while stirring. Then let the mixture cool down to complete the gelling process. Note: the more acidic the ingredients in your preparation are, the more agar-agar is needed to achieve the desired firmness.
