Pacific Harvest Agar Powder is a popular choice for vegan bakers who seek plant based alternatives for gelatine, egg replacement options and dairy free, gluten free, vegan stabilising or thickening agents in cooking. It is derived from a red seaweed and has numerous health benefits including weight loss!

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 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. It is also suitable for those on a low GI diet.

Agar is odourless and flavourless so can be used in a wide variety of recipes without impacting the flavour.
