Kanten Jelly 寒天ゼリー
Kanten (Japanese agar) is a plant-based gelling agent extracted from seaweed. Unlike gelatin, it does not contain any animal-derived ingredients, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Kanten jelly is lower in calories and richer in dietary fibre compared to gelatin-based jellies. This provides a feeling of fullness, making it a great option for those on a diet.
Kanten jelly has a unique, springy texture and a refreshing mouthfeel, different from the texture of gelatin-based jellies. In Japan, Kanten is commonly used in traditional confections like Yokan (a type of wagashi or Japanese sweets). Chilled Kanten jellies made with fresh fruits and juices and coffee-flavoured Kanten jellies are also popular among a wide range of consumers in Japan.
The distinctive elastic texture and low-calorie nature of Kanten make it a versatile ingredient for creating seasonal and healthy desserts that showcase various fresh ingredients. Please try our delicious and healthy Japanese Kanten jellies at Honoka.
