Agar: A plant wonder in your kitchen
Have you ever wanted to make the perfect berry jelly or fluffy marshmallow, knowing that every ingredient is pure, natural, and planet-friendly? Agar is the answer for those looking for a plant-based alternative to traditional gelatin.
What is Agar and why choose it?
Agar-agar is derived from red algae, making it a 100% vegan product. It is not only ethical, but also functionally superior – agar sets at room temperature and does not lose its structure in warmer weather. It is rich in fiber and contains no fat or cholesterol.
Customer reviews and experiences

RECIPE: Clear Garden Berry Jelly
This is the easiest way to see the magic of agar. The jelly will be firm, clear, and will retain the true flavor of the berries.
Ingredients:
- 500 ml water or light juice (e.g. apple)
- 1 teaspoon agar powder
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or other sweetener (to taste)
- A handful of fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
Preparation:
- Stir the agar powder into the cold liquid and leave to swell for 5-10 minutes.
- Heat the liquid over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once the liquid starts to boil, let it bubble for about 1-2 minutes. This is important for the agar to "activate".
- Remove from heat, stir in sweetener.
- Place the berries in a bowl and pour the hot liquid over them.
- Leave at room temperature. The jelly will start to set after 20-30 minutes!
