Agar Agar is low calories, fat free and does not have a large amount of protein and carbohydrates. It is widely used in Asian cuisine and popular with vegan chefs. Agar Agar has no calories, no carbs, no sugar, no fat and is loaded with fiber. It’s free from starch, soy, corn, gluten, yeast, wheat, milk, egg and preservatives. The gelling agent in agar agar is an unbranched polysaccharide which reacts to heat. It is used as a clarifying agent in brewing, as a laxative becuase its 80 percent of fiber, as an appetite suppressant. The most common usage is as a vegetarian gelatin substitute, a thickener for soups, in fruits preserves, ice cream and others desserts, but Agar Agar is much more powerful than gelatin (1 teaspoon agar agar powder is equivalent to 6-7 teaspoon gelatin powder). Agar Agar can set at room temperature and effectively keeps its shape in warmer weather. Gelatin, on the other hand, needs refrigerating to set and will melt in warm temperatures. Powered Agar Agar is more straightforward to dissolve than gelatin. Its versatility often makes it more popular than gelatin with chefs.
