Agar-Agar Powder - 50g

Agar agar is derived from seaweed -  not animals.  It is a popular vegan substitute for any dish that contains gelatin. It has no taste, odour or colour and sets more firmly than gelatin (and can even set at room temperature!).  Agar agar can be used in any dairy-free, vegan recipe that calls for gelatin as a thickening agent, including sauces, jelly-based desserts, custards and puddings.

 

Origin:  Thailand

Enjoy Me...

  • Agar is not a 1:1 substitute for gelatin - you will need less. I find that for every teaspoon of gelatin, you will need around 1/2 a teaspoon of agar.
  • Agar sets very quickly, and at room temperature! This is good and bad: You don't have to wait around for agar like you do for gelatin. But you also need have to have all your ingredients and tools in place and ready to go.
  • If you're using a mould, be sure to grease it first. Agar based goods don't slide right out the way gelatin goods do.
