## Overview

Pure Refined Kappa Carrageenan is a premium, food-grade gelling agent derived from red seaweed, ideal for creating vegan cheeses and other plant-based culinary innovations. Certified OU Kosher, non-GMO, and vegan, it is processed and packaged in Maine, USA, ensuring exceptional quality and reliability for professional and home chefs alike.

## 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: High Quality - I bought this thinking I could make a gel on it, but I had to work with it for some time to learn how to create it. When it dries it is very hard, but if you strain out the solid chucks and then set, it allows for a more mailable gel. This is the highest quality Carrageen on the market due to its small and delicate grain size. Its quality is high.
Review: Great for making vegan cheese - Works great

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it work for fruit 'jello'?**
A: I am not sure. I use it for vegan cheese making, and it is certainly not firm enough for jello how I use it. I am pretty sure agar agar could get firm enough though.

**Q: What is the shelf life of this product? Can it be stored in the freezer?**
A: The shelf life is indefinite if stored properly. It should not be stored in the freezer. It should be resealed in the pouch that it came in with as little air as possible in the bag. And kept at room temperature in a dry place.

**Q: What's the difference between this company's Kappa carrageenan and their Iota carrageenan?**
A: Hi Barbara, Kappa produces a harder and more brittle gel and Iota a softer, more elastic gel.

**Q: Is it gluten free?**
A: I don't have a definitive answer but (1)  ingredient listed on package say Kappa Carrageenan only  (2) there is a  web address on the package where you might find the answer...www.modernistpantry.com.

Works great

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality product for vegan cheese making
*by C***M on September 7, 2020*

I'm just beginning to experiment with making vegan cheese. The recipe I used called for agar agar, but said carrageenan worked well, too. When I found this particular carrageenan and saw it was a Maine product, I gave it a try. (Supporting my neighbors! Win!) The carrageenan is a fine powder and dissolved perfectly in the cheese recipe. It set up well and produced a very firm and tasty block cheese. The first recipe I used it in was for smoked Gouda. I'm trying it next in a cheddar block. Very happy with the results so far and plan to purchase more as my cheese making progresses.
