Details
Create delicious jellied products with no animal ingredients by using this Sosa agar agar powder gelling agent! Unlike conventional gelatin, which is typically derived from beef or pork, this plant-based gelling agent is made from red algae, so it's suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It's great for use in hot and cold jellied products, making it great for creating vegan fruit caviar, aspics, and grateable jellies. This flavorless, odorless powder won't affect the taste of your culinary creations and its high transparency makes it a great choice when clarity and appearance are important. This product gels slowly and is suitable for setting acidic media, though it may gel less than when used with neutral liquids.
To use this agar agar powder, mix it with your desired liquid, bring to a boil, and let cool at room temperature or under refrigeration. Use approximately 2 tsp. of agar agar powder per cup of liquid, though keep in mind that this ratio may have to be adjusted to achieve your specific desired result. This agar agar is thermoreversible, meaning the gel liquefies when heated above its melting point but regains a jelly-like consistency when cooled again. This allows you the flexibility to reheat your creations and adjust the amount of gelling agent as necessary to ensure a proper set or to prepare large batches of glaze that can be chilled between uses and reheated without affecting the integrity of the end result. This product is packaged in a resealable 1.1 lb. container that will keep your busy establishment in good supply of this versatile ingredient.
