Golden Cup Agar Agar Powder 25g

Create stunning, crystal-clear gels and firm, sliceable desserts with Golden Cup Agar Agar Powder. This 100% plant-based gelling agent, extracted from sustainable red seaweed, is a vegan and vegetarian essential for both sweet and savoury culinary creations. Renowned for its powerful setting strength—up to eight times firmer than animal-based gelatin—it produces a clean, brittle set with no aftertaste, perfect for warm climates as it sets firmly at room temperature.

A staple in Asian and modern fusion cooking, it's ideal for making elegant layered jellies (kanten), refreshing fruit aspics, glossy dessert bars, and even vegan cheese or panna cotta. Unlike other gelling agents, agar agar is heat-stable once set, ensuring your beautiful creations hold their shape perfectly. Unlock endless possibilities with this versatile, pure, and potent 25g pack.
