Agar Powder by NOW FOODS is a plant-based powder from marine red algae, used as a gelling and thickening agent in cooking.
It is suitable for home cooks looking for a vegetarian or vegan alternative to gelatin when preparing desserts, jellies and other recipes that need a firmer or gelled texture.
Agar powder comes from marine red algae and is widely used in food preparation. It dissolves in hot liquid and sets as it cools, giving recipes a gelled or denser texture without animal-derived gelatin. The product contains only this single ingredient and can be added to a variety of desserts and dishes whenever a plant-based gelling option is preferred.
How do you substitute gelatin with agar powder in recipes?
Agar powder can be used as a plant-based gelling agent wherever recipes call for gelatin, giving desserts and jellies a firm, gelled texture without animal ingredients.
Does agar agar powder need to be refrigerated?
Store agar powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; it does not need refrigeration and keeps well at normal room temperature when tightly closed.
How do you properly dissolve and activate agar powder?
Dissolve agar powder in hot liquid while stirring, then let the mixture cool so it sets and creates a gelled or denser texture in your recipe.
