Sosa COLD INULIN 500g
Sosa Cold Inulin is an absolute game-changer for the modern pastry kitchen, offering chefs and passionate home bakers the ultimate secret weapon for adjusting texture without compromising on flavour. Extracted naturally from chicory root, this highly soluble prebiotic dietary fibre boasts an incredible ability to mimic the luxurious, rich mouthfeel of fat and the structural properties of sugar. It allows you to craft impeccably smooth, velvet-textured creations while keeping the nutritional profile lean and clean.
Perfect for the contemporary pastry chef looking to lighten up traditional recipes, Cold Inulin lets you dial back the heavy cream, eggs, or sugar in your components without losing that craveable, indulgent texture. Because it is completely neutral in both colour and flavour, it acts as a transparent canvas. It lets the vibrant notes of native fruits, premium chocolates, and toasted nuts take centre stage rather than hiding behind excessive sweetness or dairy fat.
Whether you are whipping up an ultra-stable vegan mousse, spinning a silk-smooth sorbet, or seeking a flawless bulking agent for delicate meringues, this versatile texturiser integrates seamlessly into liquid bases. It is an indispensable pantry staple for anyone serious about pushing the boundaries of healthy, high-end gastronomy.
Ingredients:
100% Inulin (derived from chicory root)
How to use:
Hydration Process: Disperse the powder into your cold or hot liquid base. For optimum results, use a stick blender to agitate the mixture vigorously for one minute to ensure even distribution.
Resting Period: Leave the blended mixture to rest in the refrigerator at 5°C for a minimum of 2 to 12 hours. This resting phase is vital for the fibres to achieve complete hydration and optimal texturising performance.
Freezing Applications: If using in frozen elements like ice creams or sorbets, always complete the full refrigerator rest before churning or freezing. The product prevents syneresis (weeping) upon thawing.
