Agar - 20 g VITA - NATUR Agar

Agar-agar 20 g Vita-Natur

Bio Agar is a natural, odorless gelling agent. This substance swells strongly in the intestines, increasing the volume of its contents, due to which it has a mild laxative effect. The product can be used instead of gelatin. Powdered agar is perfectly soluble in water at a temperature of about 90°C. It freezes into a gel at 30-40°C, thanks to which it will solidify even without refrigeration. It is a product of natural origin, which is obtained from the thallus of red algae, cultivated mainly off the coast of Japan. Their production requires repeated drying and heat treatment. Most of the nutrient agar consists of galactose, which is a sugar that is difficult for humans to digest. In industry, gelatin agar is used, for example, in the production of mousse or gel-like candies. In pharmacy, it is used as a bulking agent and as a substance that breaks down tablets. Naturally, agar is rich in fiber, vitamins K, E and B6, folic acid and omega-3 acid. Unlike gelatin, it can be reheated several times.
