Benefits of agar powder

In case you don't know Agar agar comes from a marine cellular organism, specifically a red alga with gelling properties, and is widely used in vegan cooking. Agar agar is a family of Rhodophytae.

It is not known exactly at what precise moment the gelling properties of agar agar were discovered, but I can tell you that this sub marine product is part of Japanese gastronomy and other Asian countries.
