Sosa Elastic is a powdered gelling agent made from red seaweed (carrageenan) and locust bean gum, designed to create elastic, stretchable gels and flexible film-like textures. Its unique formulation results in a gel that is soft, springy, and suitable for creative applications in modern gastronomy.
This plant-based hydrocolloid is of natural origin and compatible with most liquids. It is freeze-stable but not thermoreversible—once gelled, it cannot be reheated and reset.
