How to Use:

Organic Agar Agar is a flexible ingredient that can be used in many recipes to create a firm, smooth texture:

  • Thickening Agent: Add Agar Agar to soups, sauces, and gravies as a thickener. It dissolves easily in hot liquids and sets as it cools, creating a smooth, stable texture.
  • Vegan Cheese and Dairy Alternatives: Incorporate Agar Agar into plant-based cheese or yogurt recipes to achieve a creamy, firm consistency without using animal products.
  • Molecular Gastronomy: Explore the world of molecular gastronomy by using Agar Agar to create delicate spheres, foams, and gels that add a creative twist to your dishes.
