LONGECITY

Recently I bought a snack at the store called "Chocolate Jell-O's" which I assumed was orange or apricot jelly covered in chocolate. But then I looked more closely and discovered the jelly ingredient was not a fruit but something called "Agar-Agar." Further investigation revealed that it's apparently a Japanese seaweed? Pretty fascinating, I had no idea seaweed could be a dessert. There's ancient folklore in Asian countries that apparently associates some therapeutic qualities with this substance (or algae) based on a google search? Very little in terms of what its nutritional profile is, is anyone familiar with this product?

I bought a packet of the stuff a while back just out of interest and it's still hanging out in the pantry. It resembles fish floss.... Will keep an eye on this thread and maybe make a recipe.
