Its mission is Creation and Maintenance of Purity in Food. EDEN brand is the authentic alternative to commercial food; the purest, best tasting fruits, grains, beans, and vegetables on the planet, from known trusted growers. Traditional Kanten A traditional odorless, tasteless seaweed gelatin substitute. Easy to use flakes ideal for pie fillings, jellies, preserves, kanten, custards, and vegetable or fruit aspics. Wild, hand harvested sea vegetables with strong thickening properties are naturally prepared and dried in the mountains using only winter freezes and thaws. Agar agar bars and flakes are a vastly superior option to 'rendered' gelatin. Enjoy sea vegetable benefits that are easy to use. Called 'kanten' in Japan. A traditional odorless, tasteless sea vegetable gelatin created by a long, slow process that combines a mixture of red algae sea vegetables of the Gelidium and Gracilaria species. Highly prized as a natural, pure vegetable quality gelatin and a much healthier alternative to commercial animal, chemical gelatins. The eight varieties of wild sea vegetables used in EDEN Agar Agar Flakes are hand harvested from pristine temperate waters in the autumn then spread out on beaches to naturally sun dry. EDEN Agar Agar Flakes are the perfect all purpose gelatin. Use in making desserts such as puddings, custards, mousse, jello, preserves, jams and pie fillings. Also use to make a variety of vegetable, bean, noodle and fruit aspics. Fruit aspics are referred to as 'kanten' in Japanese and macrobiotic cookbooks. Traditional Japanese Production and Quality The eight varieties of wild sea vegetables used in EDEN Agar Agar Flakes are hand harvested from pristine temperate waters in the autumn then spread out on beaches to naturally sun dry. In the winter the dried plants are transported to the mountains where they are cooked several hours in water to soften them. This thick mixture is poured into trays and allowed to gel before cutting into bars. The bars are placed outside in snow covered rice fields, on bamboo mats suspended from short bamboo frames. During the cold of the night the gelled bars freeze solid and ice forms on the surface. In the morning when the temperature rises, the ice melts and runs off. The bars are left to repeatedly freeze and thaw for 10 days. After 10 days all of the moisture disappears resulting in lightweight, off-white bars of agar. The bars are then crushed to produce EDEN Agar Agar Flakes. The flakes are easy to use, do not require long soaking and quickly dissolve in hot water or juice. ## Features - Odorless, tasteless seaweed vegan gelatin. - Agar Agar Flakes are the perfect all purpose gelatin. - Use in making desserts such as puddings, custards, mousse, jello, preserves, jams and pie fillings. - When using Eden Agar Agar Flakes to make a firm gelatin for fruit salads or childrens finger gelatin, use 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of agar agar flakes per cup of water, tea or juice. If a softer jello like texture is desired, use 1 tablespoon of flakes per cup of water, tea or juice. If the juice is quite acidic such as grape, orange or lemon, slightly more flakes will be needed to achieve a jello like texture. - Product of Japan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0017OAKLM | | Allergen Information | Gluten Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #66,096 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #164 in Gelatins | | Brand | Eden | | Brand Name | Eden | | Coin Variety 1 | Agar Agar,Gelatin | | Cuisine | Japanese | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 172 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegan, Vegetarian | | Flavor | Agar Agar | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00024182159318 | | Item Form | Flake | | Item Package Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Item Type Name | food | | Item Weight | 1 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Eden Foods | | Material Feature | Vegan | | Material Features | Vegan | | Model Number | 024182159318 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | EDN15931 | | Size | 1 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Gluten Free, Kosher Certified, Low Sodium, Wheat Free | | UPC | 024182159318 | | Unit Count | 1 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Allergen Information:** Gluten Free - **Brand:** Eden - **Item Weight:** 1 Ounces - **Material Feature:** Fat Free, Low Sodium - **Specialty:** Gluten Free, Kosher Certified, Low Sodium, Wheat Free ## Images ![Eden Agar Agar Flakes, A Traditional Odorless, Tasteless Seaweed Gelatin Substitute, Kanten, Japanese, Vegan, 1 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81JRtNcr8cL.jpg) ![Eden Agar Agar Flakes, A Traditional Odorless, Tasteless Seaweed Gelatin Substitute, Kanten, Japanese, Vegan, 1 oz - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-Do2z1+fL.jpg) ![Eden Agar Agar Flakes, A Traditional Odorless, Tasteless Seaweed Gelatin Substitute, Kanten, Japanese, Vegan, 1 oz - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/917ueTqqXpL.jpg) ![Eden Agar Agar Flakes, A Traditional Odorless, Tasteless Seaweed Gelatin Substitute, Kanten, Japanese, Vegan, 1 oz - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Ui7NJ6XTL.jpg) ![Eden Agar Agar Flakes, A Traditional Odorless, Tasteless Seaweed Gelatin Substitute, Kanten, Japanese, Vegan, 1 oz - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mLTWrtQaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is it tested for heavy metals?** A: I’m not sure about that but what I do know is this stuff doesn’t work.
