Agar-Agar
Agar-Agar is a plant-derived gelling agent made from red seaweed, commonly used in Asian and vegan cooking to set desserts, custards, jellies and to clarify broths. It is prized for forming firm gels that hold at room temperature and for being a vegan alternative to animal gelatin. Nutritionally, Agar-Agar is almost pure soluble fiber and mineral-rich: it provides 80g of fiber per 100g and is a concentrated source of calcium and magnesium. Because only small amounts are used in recipes, it contributes little energy but can boost the fiber and mineral content of foods. From a health perspective, agar-agar is valued for its very high fiber content and mineral contributions, and for being plant-based and low in fat and sugar — properties that make it useful when you want to thicken or set foods without adding calories or animal products.
