Agar Agar Powder 10KG
BulkHonest to Goodness Agar Agar Powder, traditionally known in Japan as kanten, is a flavourless and odourless gelling agent derived from Gracilaria red seaweed.
A popular plant-based alternative to gelatine, agar agar can be used to set jellies, desserts, cakes and confectionery or to thicken sauces, soups and preserves. It forms a firmer, more brittle gel than gelatine and sets as the mixture cools
Key Features
- Plant-based alternative to gelatine
- Flavourless and odourless
- Useful for jellies, desserts, jams, sauces and preserves
- Available in a convenient powder form
HOW TO USE
Agar agar can be used in most recipes that call for gelatin as a thickening agent, including sauces, preserves, soups and desserts. The same amount of agar agar powder can be substituted for powdered gelatin in a recipe.
The ability of agar agar to gel is affected by the acidity of the other ingredients in the recipe. The more acid the ingredients (e.g. strawberries or citrus), the more agar agar you will need. Some ingredients such as kiwi fruit & pineapple and some fresh tropical fruits like mango & paw paw do not work well with agar agar and they may not set at all, so be mindful of the ingredients you use!
As a general rule use of 1 teaspoon agar agar powder to thicken 1 cup of liquid.
How to use Agar Agar Powder
- Dissolve 1 teaspoon of agar agar powder with 4 tablespoons of water. Bring it to the boil over a medium heat and then allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Mix it well with the warm ingredients. Put aside to set. As the ingredients cool, the agar agar will set.
Tips:
It is easiest to use agar agar with other warm ingredients. Be careful not to introduce anything too cold until you are ready for it to set, as it will set quickly!
There is agar agar FLAKES as well as agar agar POWDER. 1 teaspoon of agar agar powder is equivalent to 1 tablespoon of agar agar flakes in a recipe.
GROWING & PROCESSING
Agar is derived from a red algae (sea vegetable) called Gracilaria
