Product Description
Agar Agar Powder (Faluda Powder)
Agar agar powder, also sold as faluda powder or China grass, is a fine pale powder made from seaweed that sets liquid into a firm jelly. It is used to make falooda jelly, fruit jellies, coconut and mango puddings and set desserts at home.
How Agar Agar Powder Sets
Agar agar powder only works once it has been boiled in liquid. Stir it into cold water or juice first, bring it to the boil and simmer for a few minutes until it dissolves completely.
The jelly then sets as it cools, even at room temperature. Chilling it in the fridge just speeds things up. The set is firmer and more brittle than a gelatin jelly, and it does not melt on a warm day.
Ways to Use Agar Agar Powder
- Falooda jelly cubes to go with rose syrup, vermicelli, basil seeds and ice cream
- Coconut, mango or milk puddings
- Fruit jellies and layered jelly desserts
- Panna cotta style desserts and set custards
- Homemade jelly sweets
- Thickening fruit sauces and fillings
Tips for Using Agar Agar Powder
Agar agar powder is strong, so a small amount goes a long way. Strength can vary between brands, so try a small batch first and adjust the amount next time.
Very sour liquids such as lemon juice can weaken the set. Add them after the powder has dissolved, and use a little more powder if the jelly turns out soft. If a jelly sets too firm, you can melt it, add more liquid and let it set again.
Agar Agar Powder FAQ
Is agar agar the same as gelatin?
No, they are different ingredients. Agar agar comes from seaweed, while gelatin comes from animal bones and skin. Agar agar also sets firmer and does not need a fridge to set.
Do I have to boil agar agar powder?
Yes, agar agar powder must be boiled to dissolve and activate. Simmer it for a few minutes, stirring, until no grains are left.
Can I use it for falooda jelly?
Yes, agar agar powder is a common choice for falooda jelly. Set it in a shallow dish, then cut it into small cubes or strips and add them to the glass.
Add agar agar powder to your basket ready for your next batch of falooda jelly or set pudding.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
