Agar Agar Powder for Vegan Desserts and Cooking, a Tasteless Gelling Agent That Sets at Room Temperature

Agar agar powder helps give vegan desserts a firm set and thicken everyday recipes without adding a seaweed taste or smell. Derived from red seaweed, Living Jin Agar Agar Powder is a plant-based alternative to animal gelatin for cooking and baking.

Use it to make sliceable vegan cheese, set dairy-free yogurt, or prepare fruit gummies. It sets at room temperature as the mixture cools, helping desserts hold their shape on the kitchen counter.

To activate the powder, whisk it into your liquid, bring the mixture to a gentle boil, and simmer for a few minutes until completely dissolved. Follow your recipe for the amount to use; stirring agar into cold liquid alone will not activate it.
