Natural Agar Strip 200g for Salads & Cold Dishes, Food Grade

Product Overview

Natural Agar Strip 200g is a premium food-grade seaweed ingredient extracted from carefully selected natural red algae. Specially developed for salads, cold dishes, buffet presentations, and ready-to-eat food applications, it delivers a unique crisp texture, excellent hydration performance, and attractive appearance that enhances both the visual appeal and eating experience of food products.

Unlike traditional salad ingredients that may lose texture during storage or display, agar strips maintain their refreshing bite and glossy appearance for extended periods. Simply soak in cold water and the strips become soft, elastic, and ready to use, making them an ideal ingredient for restaurants, hotels, catering companies, supermarkets, and food manufacturers.

As a natural, plant-based ingredient, agar strips are suitable for vegan, vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, and clean-label food formulations.
