Agar agar is obtained from seaweed and is a purely plant-based gelling agent. Originally from Japan, it is now valued in kitchens and patisseries around the world.
Taste and aroma
Agar agar is neutral in taste, odorless and unobtrusive – perfect when the aroma of the main ingredients should take center stage.
Application
One teaspoon of agar agar is enough for ½ liter of liquid. Simply dissolve it in the liquid, bring briefly to a boil and let cool. Ideal for puddings, jellies, creams, desserts or even savory dishes.
Good to know
Agar agar is a vegan alternative to animal gelatin and has been used in Japanese cooking for centuries. Unlike gelatin, agar agar only gels after being brought to a boil, and it sets even at room temperature.
