Agar agar in strips of 50g. Garnish for 20 servings

The Agar agar in strips is not itself an algae, but a white substance, formed by an extract of algae from the genera Gelidium, Eucheuma, and Gracilaria.

The word "agar" comes from the Malay agar-agar, which means "jelly."

When dissolved in hot water and cooled, it becomes gelatinous. Its main use is in food, as a thickener for soups, vegetable jellies, ice creams, and some desserts. Also as a clarifying agent for beer.

Due to its high purity, it is also used in research (microbiology).

How can we consume it?

  • To make jelly: Boil 9 strips (about 2-3 grams) per 1/2 liter of liquid (water, milk, smoothies, shakes, compotes, jams, soup, or puree) for 15 min. Let it cool in a mold.
  • For flan consistency: 9 strips per liter. Let it cool.
  • In desserts: once boiled, pour hot into molds with chopped fruit, pies, custards, flans, creams, sorbets. Let it cool.
  • In savory dishes: thickens stews, purees, sauces, or savory pies.
  • In salads: soak the strips for a few minutes and add.
