Mr Gulaman Black Unflavoured Gelatin Powder is a staple ingredient and an absolute classic of Filipino cuisine and confectionery. Gulaman is the local name for agar (gelling agent E406), derived from sea algae, making it a 100% vegan and plant-based alternative to traditional gelatin.

The main component of the powder is the thickening agent E406, enriched with sugar, which facilitates preparation and provides a subtle sweetness to the finished dessert. Mr Gulaman allows you to create a jelly with a uniquely resilient and firm texture, characteristic of Asian desserts. Unlike gelatin, agar-agar sets at room temperature, which is extremely convenient in warm climates, and maintains a stable consistency even after reheating.

The product is unflavoured, giving it immense versatility. It can be used as a base for a range of popular Filipino desserts and beverages, such as Sago't Gulaman (a refreshing drink with syrup, sago balls, and jelly cubes) or Buko Pandan (a coconut dessert). It is also used for creating contrasting black layers in colourful halo-halo desserts or puddings.

The 25g sachet is perfectly measured for preparing a standard portion of jelly, making the cooking process quick and hassle-free. For lovers of Filipino cuisine and those seeking a vegan, stable alternative to gelatin, Mr Gulaman is an essential product, allowing for the exploration of authentic Asian flavours. Please note that the product contains the colourant E102, which may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children.
