What is agar?

Agar

Agar is an odorless, tasteless sea vegetable. Use in flake form as a thickener and to replace gelatin, which is a slaughterhouse by-product. The best technique for using agar is to let it soak for a few minutes in water or flavored liquid, then heat it until it dissolves (about 5 minutes). You can then blend this agar into any recipe where you would use gelatin.
