So, what is et agar-agar?
Agar-agar is a popular food ingredient derived from seaweed, specifically red algae. Also known as "et agar-agar," it is often used as a vegan and vegetarian substitute for gelatin due to its similar texture and binding properties. This versatile ingredient is available in powder, flake, or bar form and is commonly used in desserts, jellies, and as a thickening agent in soups and sauces. Agar-agar is low in calories and high in fiber, making it a popular choice for health-conscious individuals. It is also flavorless and odorless, allowing it to take on the flavors of other ingredients in.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
