Description

Description

Discovered around 1650 by a Japanese innkeeper who experimented with it in soup and noticed that it later solidified. It is a plant-based substitute for gelatin, a thickener for soups, spoon sweets, ice creams, and other desserts.

Health Benefits

Agar absorbs glucose in the stomach, passes quickly through the digestive system, and prevents the body from retaining and storing excess fat.

Its water-absorbing property helps with bowel movements. 

Agar also absorbs bile, and in this way, forces the body to break down more cholesterol. 

An excellent substitute for (animal) gelatin. Agar is the perfect alternative to traditional gelatin. It is plant-based, making it suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and other restrictive diets. 

Agar has no taste or smell, which makes it quite easy to use. It is more stable than gelatin and remains stable even at high temperatures.

Why choose agar agar:

The advantages of agar agar compared to animal gelatin are many, besides the fact that it is a plant-based product! 

Because it is a plant-based product, it can be consumed by vegetarians, those who prefer a vegan diet, those who fast, and those who follow a light or healthy diet. It is an absolutely pure product without color, taste, or aroma.

It is very easy to use and does not require special treatment as a material. It can be used at room temperature and, if necessary, the liquid it was added to can be reheated without losing its gelling property. 

Molecularly, it is much more stable than gelatin and provides better results both in texture and in the stability of the gelation of liquids. It can help with digestion and stomach disorders! 

It is rich in iodine and trace elements! Particularly rich in gum, it has a mild laxative effect and reduces the feeling of hunger, which is why the Japanese use it extensively when they want to lose weight. 

Agar – Agar is rich in vitamins B, E, K, folic acid, and many minerals such as calcium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, zinc.
