I wouldn't know about the nutritional yeast, per se, but I just found this on agar agar ( " Agar agar is a gelling agent made from a combination of algaes from the species gelidium. Other names include dai choy goh, Japanese isinglass, or kanten, in reference to the dish in which it is commonly used. The name, agar agar, is Malaysian in origin, and the harvest of the long red and purple fronds goes back hundreds of years. The fronds are freeze dried and dehydrated naturally, producing colorless sheets which are shaped into bars.
