Where it comes from:
Agar Agar, also known as "seaweed jelly," is a natural gelling agent extracted from seaweed.
Agar Agar is a polysaccharide extracted from certain species of red algae, including the Gelidium, Gracilaria, and Pterocladia varieties. It is used as a thickener and gelling agent in many food products.
Agar Agar is extracted from algae through a process of boiling in water. After boiling, Agar Agar is filtered, refined and dehydrated. Dehydrated Agar Agar is then sold in powder or flake form.
Agar Agar is widely used in the food industry for various products such as ice cream, jams, creams, sauces, baked goods and other food products.
It is processed and packaged in Italy.
🍹 Recipes and suggestions:
