Japanese Agar Flakes - Sea Vegetable Gelling Agent

Clearspring Agar Flakes are a high quality vegetarian and vegan alternative to gelatine for making desserts, jellies and aspics. They are free from chemical bleaching agents and prepared in the traditional Japanese way by cooking sea vegetables until soft, then naturally freeze drying them outside in the winter sun and snow.

Usage for firm set:
Use one tbsp of Agar Flakes per 240ml liquid*. Sprinkle the flakes over the liquid before heating. Heat without stirring until boiling. Simmer, stirring occasionally until flakes fully dissolve (5-10 minutes). Pour into moulds and cool to set.

*Acidic foods may affect the gelling strength. For best results, test recipe by taking a spoonful of the heated mixture and allowing it to rapidly set on a cool surface. If the mixture does not set in a few minutes, add more flakes and simmer for a few more minutes.
