Agar powder is a natural, vegan, plant-based thickener and gelling agent made from red algae. Also known as agar, this versatile ingredient is often used in place of gelatin powder.
Its high gelling properties create a thick, firm texture that sets quickly at room temperature. It is often used to make vegan gelatin. It can also replace cornstarch as a thickener, so it’s a great ingredient for a variety of dishes, from soups and sauces to noodles to desserts. Plus, agar provides healthy dietary fiber.
How to Use Agar Powder: Agar is more potent than gelatin and has a firmer, thicker texture once set.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place
