About Seaweed, agar, raw
Raw agar is the dried, gelatinous extract of red algae, mostly used as a setting agent or thickener in cooking. It contributes almost nothing in the way of fat or protein, and its carbohydrate content is largely structural rather than digestible. In Asian cuisines it shows up in jellies, puddings, and cold desserts; in Western kitchens it has become a reliable plant-based substitute for gelatin. Because it absorbs a great deal of water, it can add bulk to a dish without adding meaningful energy.
