TERRA SANA AGAR AGAR 120G

Vegan gelatin, organic
? Powerful binding and gelling agent
? Odor and tasteless extract of red algae
? Perfect for vegan cheesecake and jelly.

Agar-agar is an extract from various types of red algae with a strong gelling effect. A binding and gelling agent, similar to gelatin, but 100% vegan, organic and much more powerful. It is odorless and tasteless, contains no fat, hardly any calories and a lot of fiber. You can make delicious vegan cheesecakes, jams or (sugar-free) jelly. Agar agar (Malaysian for 'jelly') is becoming increasingly popular, thanks to vegetarians, vegans and lovers of macrobiotic cuisine, because it is completely plant-based. Also try the other Japanese binders: kuzu or arrowroot.

Vegan binder with lots of protein and minerals

Agar agar contains a lot of proteins and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron. It is therefore not surprising that this vegetable gelatin was called Kanten in the course of the seventeenth century, the food of the gods. The Japanese prefer agar-agar very simply: they dissolve a teaspoon in their soup, green tea or other hot liquid. Every day, fifteen minutes before the meal, they drink it to get a slightly saturated feeling before they start eating.
