Made from a blend of potato protein isolate, hydrolyzed pea protein, and flax fibre, it is designed to create the tight, stable foam needed for smooth shells with good structure and reliable baking performance. It can be used with both French meringue and Italian meringue methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRehydrate with cold water before use, then blend with an immersion blender until fully dispersed. Whip at high speed for about 5 minutes until you get a firm, dense white foam, then fold into your dry ingredients as you would with traditional whipped egg whites. Avoid adding fat during the whipping stage, since it reduces foam volume and stability. Louis François also recommends adding citrus fiber at 1.5% for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Dosage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse at 20 g per kg of total mass. For reconstitution, Louis François recommends a 10% solution, or 100 g OvoFree Macaron + 900 g water. At that ratio, 1 kg of powder mixed with 9 kg of water replaces about 330 egg whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications \/ Practical Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegan macaron shells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrench or Italian meringue-style macaron production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction kitchens that need better consistency from batch to batch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrozen macaron shell production, thanks to strong freezer stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eObservations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCream-coloured powder with a light plant aroma and neutral taste.
