A natural hydrocolloid, carrageenan is a natural extract from specific red seaweed species that are farmed and processed. It is used as a suspending and emulsifying stablizer, thickener, binder and gelling agent. These outstanding properties makes it a very versatile ingredient, finding more usage in meat. Typical applications include making plant-based cheeses and usage in place of animal-based gelatin. This refined kappa type is soluble in hot water at temperatures above 180 F.

It will not be too firm unless you use too high of a ratio. We suggest you start at 1% of the total weight of the liquid in your recipe. This means, if you are using 100g of liquid you would need 1g of Carrageenan Kappa. If that is too firm for your liking you can use a lower percentage. The lowest percentage we have found to work is around 0.4%. **Q: Is this available in a larger size because my recipes call for 2 tablespoons so, only 2 uses per package/$5 per recipe?** A: We also sell our Kappa in a 400g size on Amazon. **Q: Can I use this to thicken soy milk for a pasta sauce served warm?** A: Kappa Carrageenan has to hydrate at 180F so if your soy milk won't be that hot then it would not work. Lambda Carrageenan is a better product for thickening soy milk, and that is not available on Amazon. **Q: Can I use this to thicken raw almond milk?** A: I would think so. You would need to heat it to set. It would thicken then set firm when cool. I use it to make vegan cheese with homemade almond milk. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pure Refined Kappa Carrageenan ⊘ Non-GMO ☮ Vegan ✡ OU Kosher Certified - 50g/2oz (The original recommended for Vegan Cheese) - Refined Iota Carrageenan Vegan OU Kosher Certified - 50g/2oz - Pure Locust Bean Gum ⊘ Non-GMO Vegan OU Kosher Certified - 50g/2oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1725081-pure-refined-kappa-carrageenan-non-gmo-vegan-ou-kosher-certified](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1725081-pure-refined-kappa-carrageenan-non-gmo-vegan-ou-kosher-certified) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
