Algin (alginate), Texturas Ferran Adrià, E 400, 500 g

Algin is a natural product made from brown algae. Depending on which part of the algae is used in the production of the algin, the texture and reactivity with calcic acid vary. For this product, an algin product was selected that undergoes sferification (a technique for producing spherical shapes, such as melon caviar) with guaranteed results. Properties: Refined powder. Gels when combined with calcic acid. The gelling power is reduced by vigorous stirring when cold. Algin does not need to be heated to achieve the desired effect.
