Lotus Agar Agar 75g is a plant-based gelling agent made for clean, firm set desserts and recipe experiments where you’d normally reach for gelatine — without any animal ingredients.

Agar agar is derived from seaweed and is commonly used to set jellies, panna cotta-style desserts, custards, jams, glazes and gummy-style treats. It creates a firmer gel than gelatine and sets at room temperature once cooled, which makes it useful for slices and desserts that need to hold shape. It’s also a handy pantry staple for vegan cooking and gluten-free kitchens where you want a reliable “set” without changing flavour.

In practical use, agar needs heat to activate. The simplest method is to whisk it into your liquid, bring it to a boil, and simmer briefly until fully dissolved. Once poured into moulds or a dish, it sets as it cools. Because it sets more firmly, most people start with a small amount, test the texture, then adjust next time based on how soft or firm they want the final result.

This 75g pack suits home cooks who want a manageable size for occasional dessert batches, jam setting, or recipe development. A little goes a long way, and keeping it sealed and dry helps it stay free-flowing and easy to measure.

Sustainability & certifications: Agar agar is seaweed-derived and typically used in small amounts per recipe, which can make it a low-waste “texture tool” for home kitchens.
