Sosa Veggie Gel 500g

Vegetable Gelling Agent

Sosa Veggie Gel 500g is a natural, plant-based gelling agent made from seaweed and locust bean gum. Designed for use in liquids with at least 80% water content, it offers a reliable way to create firm or springy gels in both sweet and savoury dishes. Ideal for those seeking a vegetarian alternative to animal gelatine, it provides a texture similar to agar-agar but with more elasticity and less brittleness.

This powder dissolves easily when heated and works well in recipes such as fruit toppings, savoury jellies, and vegetable-based gels. With no dextrose or added sweetness, it allows the natural flavours of your ingredients to shine through. Though it sets at room temperature, the gel is reversible with heat, perfect for chefs and home cooks who want flexibility in their dishes.

The product is not suitable for freezing or for reheating once set, so it’s best used in fresh preparations or cold-set recipes where a firm, elastic finish is required.
