This vegan gelling agent excels in creating smooth, meltable vegan cheeses and gluten-free meat analogs, dissolving efficiently at temperatures above 180°F. With a 4.8-star rating and trusted quality assurance, it’s the go-to ingredient for chefs pushing the boundaries of modern plant-based cuisine. ## Description 100% Pure Kappa Carrageenan (e407) for use as a gelling agent in molecular gastronomy. A natural hydrocolloid, carrageenan is a natural extract from specific red seaweed species that are farmed and processed. It is used as a suspending and emulsifying stablizer, thickener, binder and gelling agent. These outstanding properties makes it a very versatile ingredient, finding more usage in meat. Typical applications include making plant-based cheeses and usage in place of animal-based gelatin. This refined kappa type is soluble in hot water at temperatures above 180 F. Review: Great for making vegan cheeses - I use this product occasionally to make the vegan cheeses in the book "The Non-Dairy Formulary." This product is superior to agar-agar in how it performs as a thickening/gelatinizing agent. For the price, I believe it's a good investment if you really want to get into making your own nutmilks/vegan cheeses. The vegan mozzarella I can make with this is so absolutely amazing, I would daresay it is identical to its dairy-derived version in taste and texture, and only slightly different in how it melts. I will probably continue to purchase this product when I run out, but 14 oz will definitely last me quite a while. Review: Great product - This is the second time purchasing this product. I got the smaller 2oz quantity in 2017 to try with the Gentle Chef non dairy evolution cheeses and they turned out amazing. When he released his new gluten free cookbook which makes more use of Kappa Carageenen I knew I needed a bigger quantity to have on hand to make the cheeses and also the GF ahimsa meat analogs. Definitely give it a try and highly recommend pairing it with his range of cheese! In the picture what you see are the Pepper jack, Brie and mozzarella di tuscano and also the GF pepperoni. These were a hit with both vegans and non vegans alike!!! ## Features - VEGAN CHEESE- Carrageenan powder is typically used as a gelling and thickening agent for vegan cheese and other vegan products. Recommended by The Gentle Chef for Originator the Vegan Cheese Recipe - SEAWEED POWDER- Because carrageenan is made from natural seaweed it is a vegan gelling agent; Gelatin and other thickeners are made from animal by-products and thus not vegan friendly - QUALITY GUARANTEED- Modernist pantry guarantees the quality of all our products; If you have any issues at all reach out and we will fix the situation! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00CX2VBP6 | | Brand | Modernist Pantry | | Brand Name | Modernist Pantry | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 118 Reviews | | Item Package Weight | 0.43 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 400 Grams | | Item weight | 400 Grams | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package weight | 0.43 Kilograms | | UPC | 819543010656 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Modernist Pantry - **Item weight:** 400 Grams - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Package weight:** 0.42 Kilograms - **UPC:** 819543010656 ## Images ![Food Grade Kappa Carrageenan (Molecular Gastronomy) ⊘ Non- - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bvq+EZPML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for making vegan cheeses *by A***L on 24 January 2014* I use this product occasionally to make the vegan cheeses in the book "The Non-Dairy Formulary."
