Herb Care China Grass 30g (চায়না গ্রাস)

“China grass” is the common name in South Asia for agar-agar, a natural, vegetarian gelling agent derived from red seaweed. It is a popular substitute for animal-based gelatin and is used primarily in desserts and other food preparations that require a setting agent.

China grass is a versatile ingredient, most commonly used to make:

Puddings and Jellies: A primary use is making glossy, firm puddings (often milk-based and flavored with essences like vanilla or rose) and fruit jellies.
Mousses and Cheesecakes: It serves as an excellent vegan alternative to gelatin in setting mousses and cheesecakes.
Thickening Agent: It is used as a thickener in soups, sauces, and custards.
Confectionery: It can be used to make glazes, icings, and various candies.
Falooda: It is a key ingredient in making the traditional South Asian dessert drink falooda.
