- Q: Can Agar Powder be used in vegan recipes? A: Absolutely! Agar Powder is a vegetarian and vegan product, making it an ideal ingredient for those following plant-based diets. It provides the same gelatinous properties as animal-based gelatin without any animal products.
- Q: How does Agar Powder compare to traditional gelatin? A: Agar Powder is a plant-based alternative to traditional gelatin, offering similar thickening and gelling properties.
