Nat-Ali Organic Agar-Agar – A Clean, Plant-Based Gelatine Alternative
What is Agar-Agar and Why Use It?
Looking for a natural and vegan-friendly gelling agent? Nat-Ali Organic Agar-Agar Gelatine Alternative is the perfect solution. Sourced from wild red seaweed (Gelidium sesquipedale) along the French coastline, this natural gelling powder offers an ideal substitute for traditional animal-derived gelatine.
Completely odourless and flavourless, this seaweed extract gels at room temperature and sets quickly—making it highly versatile in the kitchen. Each 2x4g sachet is pre-measured for convenience, giving you consistent results whether you're preparing sweet desserts or savoury terrines.
Nutritional Benefits of This Gelatine Alternative
Agar-agar is not just useful—it’s nutritious too. As a natural source of soluble fibre, it can support digestive health and help you feel fuller for longer. Unlike gelatine, it contains no animal by-products, fats, or added sugars, making it a smart choice for low-calorie or plant-based diets.
Thanks to its high fibre content, it also supports healthy gut flora and aids natural detoxification. The agar-agar gelatine alternative can even assist with stabilising blood sugar when used in balanced meals.
Certified Organic and Allergen-Free
Nat-Ali proudly uses only EU-certified organic seaweed (FR-BIO-01), ensuring your pantry staple meets the highest environmental and safety standards. It’s free from gluten, lactose, soy, and other common allergens. As a result, it suits a wide range of dietary needs including vegan, vegetarian, and low-FODMAP diets.
Storage Tips and Cooking Ideas
Storage: Store in a cool, dry cupboard. Once opened, reseal sachets to maintain freshness.
Cooking Tips: To activate agar-agar, dissolve the powder in liquid and bring it to a rolling boil for 1–2 minutes. The powder sets at around 35–40°C without refrigeration. Use it in fruit gels, panna cotta, jams, flans, vegan cheeses, or even soups and sauces that need thickening. For firmer gels, slightly increase the amount used.
