AGAR AGAR

At Kannadiyar, we bring you Agar Agar, a pure and natural gelling agent sourced from red algae, primarily from species like Gelidium and Gracilaria. Traditionally known as China Grass in India, Agar Agar has been used for centuries across Asia for its ability to create firm, clear, plant-based gels without the use of animal products. This makes it an ideal vegan substitute for gelatin in cooking and food preparation.

Agar Agar is harvested from marine red seaweed and processed into strips or powder form, retaining its natural gelling properties. It is odorless, tasteless, and sets at room temperature, making it a versatile ingredient in making jellies, puddings, custards, and even in molecular gastronomy. Rich in fiber, it also supports digestive health and is sometimes used in health food and weight-loss recipes.
