NOW Foods: Agar powder

Agar is a gelling agent produced from marine algae. The kelp is harvested off the coast of Japan to be later processed. The result is agar - usually available in powder form. It is used not only in the food industry, but also in the cosmetics industry. It is colourless and odourless, but also extremely versatile. Vegans and vegetarians are particularly keen to use it.

NOW Foods: Agar Powder

The safe gelling agent, derived from plant sources, is often used to cook jellies and gels as a substitute for gelatine. All you need to do is mix ½ teaspoon of powder with ½ cup of water and heat the solution over a low heat for about 5 minutes. You can add fruit or other ingredients to this mixture as you wish, and then place the whole thing in the fridge for a minimum of 20 minutes. This way, you can create tasty, vegan desserts.Check out the other offerings in the NOW Foods brand and choose the supplements that suit your needs.
