Louis Francois Agar Agar Powder

Louis François Agar Agar Powder is a premium plant-based gelling agent derived from red seaweed, widely used in professional patisserie, confectionery, and modern gastronomy. A powerful alternative to gelatine, agar agar is suitable for vegetarian and vegan applications and sets firmly at room temperature — making it ideal for jellies, panna cottas, fluid gels, mirror glazes, and moulded desserts.

Unlike gelatine, agar agar gels remain stable at higher temperatures, making them particularly useful for warm-weather service and applications where a firmer, more heat-resistant set is required. It has a neutral flavour and produces a clean, clear gel with excellent clarity.

Key benefits:

• 100% plant-based — suitable for vegetarian and vegan recipes
• Sets firmly at room temperature without refrigeration
• Heat-stable — gels remain firm at higher temperatures than gelatine
• Neutral flavour with excellent gel clarity
• Highly versatile — use for jellies, fluid gels, glazes, and moulded desserts

Use at approximately 2g per 500ml of liquid for a firm set, adjusting to achieve your desired texture. Available in a 1kg professional pack.
