Algae used for making food items like ice creams, jellies and puddings is Agar-agar.
What is Agar-agar?
- Ice cream and puddings are made with agar-agar. It is a jelly-like substance derived from algae.
- It's a gelatinous substance. It's used in place of gelatin as it is a vegetarian substitute for jelly. On the other hand, gelatin is non-vegetarian.
- Agar is high in calcium, iron, vitamins, and is low in saturated fat. It's perfect for those who want to lose weight and keep their health in check.
Hence, Agar-agar is used in making jellies and puddings.
