Frequently Asked Questions

Does vegetable gelatin contain pork?
No. It is 100% plant-based, with no animal ingredients, making it suitable for vegetarian and halal diets.

Vegetable gelatin or agar-agar, what's the difference?
Both are plant-based. Vegetable gelatin provides a flexible hold similar to classic gelatin, while agar-agar sets firmer and more brittle. Choose according to the desired texture.

How to properly measure vegetable gelatin?
Follow the quantities on the packaging according to the volume of liquid. Too much makes the texture rubbery, too little prevents setting.
