Bridgedurso Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Can I cook with it? I understand it's essentially a gelatin from sea vegetables and has been around in Japanese cooking for a very long time. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 31, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 31, 2012 I guess you could cook with agar agar if you want some unsweetened jelly or aspics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline MW Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I use agar agar to make vegan cheese. All the other ingredients are Whole30 approved. Can I eat that cheese while on Whole30? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 No, recreating cheese would be noncompliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted May 29, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 29, 2017 It's not in the spirit of the Whole30... technically all the ingredients are compliant, but we do not support remaking cheese just as much as we don't support recreating baked goods... it's called SWYPO and it's a sometimes gray area. You're doing this program to change your habits, so leave the fake cheese alone for 30 days... it'll be there for you when you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth quoting what LadyShanny said in that thead: Whole30 is a food elimination diet and an opportunity to reset your relationship with food. For the most benefits, and to experience that reset, regard "no dairy" as no cheese, real or fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
