Agar-Agar

 

One night in 1658 a Japanese innkeeper named Mino Tarozaemon tossed out a batch of old seaweed soup and in the morning, he noticed the soup gelled, due to the freezing night temperature. And thus, Agar-Agar was created! This vegetarian gelatin is great for desserts. Agar Agar travels through the body absorbing glucose, so it is considered a healthy addition to weight loss plans.
