The present disclosure provides an edible hydrogel comprising carrageenan (CAR) and an aqueous carrier comprising water wherein said water constitutes up to 80 wt % out of a total volume of the hydrogel; and wherein, when said hydrogel has between 50 wt % and 80 wt % water content, the hydrogel is characterized by (a) CAR content of at least 5 wt % out of a total volume of the hydrogel; (b) a storage modulus (G1) of at least 1 OKPa within a temperature range of 25° C.-70° C.; (c) tensile strength of at least 600 kPa as determined at 25° C.; and (d) tensile strain at break of at least 15% as determined at 25° C. Also provided are methods of obtaining the dibble hydrogel and uses thereof.
