Description
NOW Foods Pure Agar Powder is a premium, kosher-certified gelling agent derived from red algae seaweed. This 5 oz container provides a plant-based alternative to gelatin that's perfect for vegetarians, vegans, and those following kosher or halal diets. Agar has been used for centuries in Asian cuisine and is prized for its superior gelling properties and neutral taste. Unlike animal-based gelatin, agar sets at room temperature and remains stable in warm conditions, making it ideal for desserts, aspics, and culinary applications in any climate. This pure powder form dissolves easily in hot liquids and creates firm, clear gels with excellent texture. NOW Foods sources only the highest quality agar and processes it to ensure maximum purity and gelling strength. Rich in fiber and minerals, agar also provides some nutritional benefits while serving as a versatile culinary ingredient. The powder form offers convenience and long shelf life, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen. Perfect for molecular gastronomy, traditional desserts, and innovative culinary creations.
Suggested Use
Use 1 teaspoon (2g) of agar powder per cup of liquid for firm gel. Dissolve completely in boiling liquid, then cool to set. For softer gel, use 1/2 teaspoon per cup. Always dissolve in hot liquid before adding other ingredients.
