Pacific Harvest Premium Agar Powder

$19.95

Agar Powder is derived from a red seaweed. Our popular Agar is odourless and flavourless so can be used in a wide variety of recipes without impacting the flavour.

Agar offers a range of nutrients including iron, calcium and magnesium with low sodium so is suitable for those on a low sodium diet. It has some surprising health benefits (including weight loss and anti-inflamatory) and is suitable for those on a low GI diet.

Agar powder is a nutrient rich plant-based alternative to gelatin, a thickener for soups and dressings, to make fruit preserves, vegan ice cream, jellies, cheesecakes other desserts. It has a high fibre content (up to 70%) so can also have a mild laxative effect. It is said to soothe the digestive tract and is fat free, containing no calories.

This Agar Powder is tested for contaminants according to the ANZ Food Code standards. It is derived from a red seaweed harvested sustainably in India and hand packed in New Zealand.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seaweeds are hygroscopic (which means they absorb moisture from the atmosphere around them) so please seal securely once opened.

Warnings: MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF: Crustacea, Fish (molluscs).
