Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 ABOUT: Agar-Agar A sea weed (alga); tasteless, not habit forming. It is a non-irritating colloid which absorbs moisture rapidly and retains it. This rapid absorption of moisture throughout the intestinal tract supplies bulk and lubrication and increases peristaltic action. A relief for constipation. Does not cause griping. Agar-agar is used as a jelling agent in salads, soups and desserts in place of animal gelatin or pectin. It jells readily at room temperature and a little goes a long way. May be used in low casrbohydrate, low protein and other special diets. Basic Proportions: 3 1/2 cups liquid and 2 Tbsp. flakes or 3 1/2 cups liquid and 1 Tbsp. granulated. For softer jell: 2 cups liquid and 1 Tbsp. flakes. Proportions may vary somewhat with the additions of fruit. http://www.Christian-Vegan-Cooking http://www. http://www.VintageVeganTea http://www.VeganMenus4HealthyLiving http://www.AllNaturalSweetnersRecipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
