What is jelly powder?
- Jelly powder is made from natural ingredients such as seaweed, algae, etc. Each jelly can be made from various raw materials but is usually derived from natural plants.
- Jelly powder is commonly used to create jelly dishes, thanks to its binding properties that create a unique jelly-like texture that is both firm and chewy.
- There are 2 types of jelly powder: soft jelly powder (Carrageenan or Jelly powder) and firm jelly powder (Agar).
The difference between firm jelly powder and soft jelly powder
- Firm jelly powder will automatically create a slightly firm texture for the final product. Meanwhile, soft jelly powder will create a softer, more wobbly texture compared to firm jelly powder.
- Soft jelly powder is often cooked with fruit juices to achieve a beautiful translucent white color. Firm jelly powder is usually mixed with coffee, pandan leaves, or chocolate to add color to the final product.
