Carrageen

Buycarrageenan : the plant-based gelling agent for creative cuisine & fine textures

Carrageenan (E 407) is a natural polysaccharide obtained from red algae and has been used for decades as a plant-based gelling and thickening agent in food production.

Our carrageenan powder is free from additives and its fine consistency makes it ideal for versatile use in the kitchen. Whether as a gelling agent in jams and desserts, for thickening dishes or as a binding agent in plant-based milk alternatives or vegan spreads: Carrageenan is a reliable ingredient for creative recipe ideas.

Our carrageenan powder can be easily stirred into liquids. For optimum gelling power, we recommend preparing it in warm or heated dishes. It can also be used in cold applications with the appropriate recipe.

Thanks to its plant-based origin, carrageenan is also vegan and allergen-free - an attractive alternative to animal gelatine.
