What is Agar?

Before we delve into the mouth-watering recipes, let me share a little background about Agar with you. Agar or agar-agar is a gel that is prepared from a red algae plant but is not a fruit. Preferably an excellent alternative to gelatin-a substance purchased from animal collagen. Derived from plant matter, Agar further crystallizes and solidifies, without the dissolved and viscous nature of gelatin when exposed to room temperatures. This makes it ideal for preparing dessert foods that will not crumble or lose their structure after preparation.
