Agar Agar Powder – Seaweed-Derived Culinary Powder
Agar Agar is a natural, plant-based gelling and thickening agent derived from red algae (seaweed). Unlike animal-based gelatin, Agar Agar is vegan, kosher, and fully plant-based. This fine powder is a traditional culinary ingredient used throughout East and Southeast Asia for centuries to create firm, clear, gelatinous textures in foods and beverages.
