About Agar
Agar is a natural gelatinous substance derived from red algae, commonly used in Asian cuisine and plant-based cooking. Originally popularized in Japan, agar has become a global ingredient, particularly valued for its versatility as a thickening and gelling agent in desserts, soups, and jellies. Nutritionally, agar is low in calories and rich in fiber, making it a great option for digestive health and weight management. It contains small amounts of essential minerals like calcium and magnesium but lacks significant protein or fat. Agar is vegan-friendly and gluten-free, appealing to those with dietary restrictions. It aids in promoting satiety due to its high water-absorbing properties, but overconsumption can lead to digestive discomfort. As a flavorless and odorless agent, agar seamlessly integrates into recipes, making it a healthy alternative to animal-based gelatins.
