Agar Agar powder – 500 g | Sosa

Description

The Sosa Agar Agar powder is a 100% natural gelling agent, extracted from red algae (Rhodophyceae), designed to create firm and rigid gels in your culinary preparations. Neutral in taste and color, it preserves aromas and allows gelling of all types of aqueous liquids, whether sweet or savory.

Thanks to its gelling power 8 to 10 times stronger than gelatin, it is ideal for making jams, pastes, jellies, solid caviars, hot and cold mousses. Its texture remains stable when hot but it is not compatible with freezing.
