Jellies and sweets can be made with agar-agar, a highly nutritious red alga. Agar-agar is undoubtedly one of the best options for making sweet dishes with vegetable ingredients. The basis for desserts is obtained from the boiling of eight different types of red algae, filtered and finally lyophilized to obtain dry matter somewhat brittle and completely soluble upon contact with water, even at low temperatures can reach thirty-fold increase in volume. Agar-agar jelly stands out from the others because it maintains its consistency in both warm and cold climate, which is not possible with any other product of the same nature.

    Agar-agar? I actually have never heard of seen anything about this product so I don?t know how it looks or tastes but if you can make such delicious recipes with it, then it has to be good. I?m going to try to find more information about this product and see if I can find it near my home. Thanks for the recipes

    Wow…this is really interesting. I would never have guess that you could use sweet recipes with seaweed, I always considered it more of a savory-type accompaniment. But I wonder if the sweet/sugar distracts from any of the nutritional value that the seaweed might provide. I know sugar is pretty detrimental to health…
