China Grass, also known as agar-agar, is a vegetarian gelatin substitute derived from seaweed. Typically available in powder or strand form, it’s often used as a setting agent in desserts such as jellies, puddings, and custards. In its powdered form, 10g of China Grass can be dissolved in liquid and then heated to activate its gelling properties, resulting in a firm and transparent gel when cooled. It’s a popular choice for those looking for a plant-based alternative to traditional gelatin.
