Agar Jelly

Agar Jelly is a light, plant-based jelly made from agar (a polysaccharide extracted from red seaweed) and commonly found in Southeast Asian desserts such as rau câu; it’s often used as a vegan substitute for gelatin and can be set with fruit juice or lightly sweetened syrups. Nutritionally it’s notable for being very low-calorie while providing roughly 1.8g of fiber per 100g, with almost no fat or protein — a useful way to add bulk and a gel texture without many calories. As a food it’s considered a healthy, low-energy dessert option and a good plant-based way to increase dietary fiber and include trace minerals from seaweed, though it shouldn’t be relied on as a source of protein.Read more
