Description

Agar agar, 50 g

Gelling agent is an indispensable helper when it comes to making creams, fillings and icings, with agar agar the treats are also suitable for vegetarians and vegans. With the right dosage and application, soft masses are created with enough stability to keep their shape in a cake, for example. Fruit jellies or even gummy bears can also be made with agar agar.

Agar Agar - Application

Unlike gelatin, agar agar is boiled whole with the liquid and then mixed with the remaining ingredients. For half a liter of liquid, add about 4 g of the powder. This can be cream, fruit juice, water or syrup. Stirring constantly, bring the liquid with the agar agar powder to a bubbling boil, then you can continue to process the mixture. Work quickly, because agar agar binds at room temperature. Thus, cakes made with agar agar can withstand more heat and can easily be stored outside the refrigerator. Of course, if the liquid contains other perishable ingredients, the dessert should still be refrigerated.

Agar agar is suitable for all recipes that are normally made with gelatin. So if you want to make your favorite recipe vegetarian or vegan, this agar agar powder is the perfect choice. Since the powder gels more than gelatin, the amount needs to be adjusted slightly. Thus, about a quarter of the amount of gelatin is needed, the powder must necessarily be boiled with liquid.

Agar agar gels earlier than gelatin, so work must always be done quickly. In addition, the finished treats should be enjoyed within two days, otherwise the powder loses its binding ability. The powder is colorless and tasteless.
