Cfi Agar Agar 900 Powder - Food Grade 1KG

Features

Description

CFI Agar Agar (900) Powder is a food grade, seaweed-derived powder used as a vegan alternative to gelatine in food recipes and as a thickening aid in DIY cosmetic formulations. It is a white to cream coloured, free-flowing, odourless powder that helps liquids gel, stabilise, and thicken. One of its most useful features is that it can set liquids at room temperature once properly activated.

This is a dry powdered ingredient, not a ready-to-use gel. Why we love it: Agar agar is one of those wonderfully versatile pantry-meets-workshop ingredients that earns its place quickly. It is especially handy for makers who want a plant-based gelling option that works across both food and cosmetic projects.
