What is Agar Agar?

Agar agar is a natural seaweed extract. Its name comes from the Malay word for the type of algae used to make the extract.

In my recipes agar agar powder as always used it is more potent than the flakes or bars. 1 heaped tablespoon is enough to set about 1 cup / 240 ml of liquid. It needs to be gently heated for a few minutes to activate the agar agar then it will set once cool. Always stir the agar agar constantly when simmering to make sure none is lost by sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Agar agar is also used to make Nut and Seed Vegan Cheeses like Smoked Cashew Cheese or Sunflower Cheddar Vegan Cheese.
