Plant-based agar agar (Kanten 寒天かんてん in Japanese) is an excellent alternative to gelatine for desserts, jams, jellies or aspic.

Clearspring's organic agar agar flakes are handcrafted in Japan : the best seaweed is selected and then naturally frozen outdoors over winter.

Nowadays, almost all commercial agar is made using sulphuric acid to dissolve the starches, as well as bleaching agents and softening chemical dyes to neutralise the colour and flavour of the sea plants. However, a few small artisan producers, such as the family who make Clearspring Agar Flakes, still use the traditional slow method.

[ Perfect for vegan/vegetarian cooking !]
