Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How does Gracila Gel differ from classic agar-agar?
Both are algae-based, but Gracila Gel is positioned as a clean-label alternative that can gel acidic or savory mixtures more effectively, where agar-agar sometimes loses its effectiveness.
Can it be used in an acidic savory preparation, such as a gelled vinaigrette?
Yes, its versatility in acidic (lemon, vinegar) and savory (soy sauce) mixtures makes it a good choice for original aspics or savory jellies.
Why must it be heated to at least 85 °C?
This is the temperature required for the algae powder to hydrate fully: below this, the gel may not set completely or evenly.
