Agar-Agar E406 1kg

Agar-agar is an essential ingredient in pastry and cooking thanks to its exceptional gelling properties. Derived from a red seaweed, it is 100% natural and neutral in taste, making it a perfect ally for many preparations.

Unlike animal gelatin, agar-agar comes in the form of a white powder and must be brought to a boil to release its gelling properties. You simply add a small amount (4 grams per liter of preparation) and mix for a few minutes before letting it cool to obtain a perfect gel.

It is important to note that agar-agar is much more powerful than gelatin, which means you need far less product to achieve the same result. For example, a single sheet of gelatin corresponds to only a fraction of the agar-agar dose required to gel a preparation.

This 1 kg jar of agar-agar offers a gelling strength between 700 and 1000 g/cm², ensuring optimal results for all your recipes. It is also recommended to weigh the agar-agar precisely for perfect dosing, and to store it in a dry place away from light.

In short, agar-agar is a natural, plant-based, non-GMO product, ideal for vegetarians and vegans. Its versatility in the kitchen makes it a must-have for gelling, thickening, or stabilizing your preparations. Don’t hesitate to bring it into your kitchen for professional and delicious results.
