Sets jellies firm at room temperature, 2-3x stronger than gelatin. : Grocery & Gourmet Food ## Features - Hoosier Hill Farm Agar Agar Powder is a natural vegan, plant-based thickener and gelling agent made from red algae. Also known as kanten, this versatile ingredient is often used in place of gelatin powder in Japan. - Its high gelling properties produce a thick, firm texture, and it sets quickly at room temperature. It is commonly used to make vegan gelatin. It also can be substituted for cornstarch as a thickener, so it’s a great addition to a variety of dishes, from soups and sauces to noodles to desserts. In addition, agar agar provides healthy dietary fiber. - How to Use Agar Agar Powder: Agar agar is more potent than gelatin and sets to a firmer, gummier texture. One teaspoon of agar agar provides the same thickening power as 2-3 teaspoons of gelatin, so keep this in mind if you’re making a substitution to a recipe that calls for regular gelatin. If you’re making a molded recipe like a gelatin or panna cotta, be sure to grease the mold before adding your agar agar mixture. - Try adding it to fruit syrups for homemade gummy candy, or use it to make your own vegan cheese. - Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend refrigerating or freezing agar agar powder. - Allergens: Packaged in a facility that processes dairy, soy, peanuts, and wheat products. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008UQLVFO | | ASIN | B008UQLVFO | | Best Sellers Rank | #42,883 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #100 in Gelatins | | Brand Name | Hoosier Hill Farm | | Coin Variety 1 | Agar Agar | | Cuisine | Japanese cuisine | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (898) | | Diet Type | Vegan, Vegetarian | | Flavor | Unflavored | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Highlight | 900 bloom vegan gelatin substitute from red algae.
