WHAT IS AGAR-AGAR
Agar-Agar is a gelatinous substance that is extracted from seaweed and processed into flakes, powders and sheets. It is commonly used in Asian cuisines and as a flavourless vegan substitute for gelatin. Agar-agar is a natural vegetable gelatin. It can be used to make jellies, puddings, and custards. When making jelly, it is boiled in water until the solids dissolve.

WHAT IS MONK FRUIT SUGAR
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/...
Monk fruit contains natural sugars, mainly fructose and glucose. However, unlike in most fruits, the natural sugars in monk fruit aren’t responsible for its sweetness. Instead, it gets its intense sweetness from unique antioxidants called mogrosides. During processing, mogrosides are separated from the fresh-pressed juice.
As people increasingly avoid sugar, alternative sweeteners have become more popular. One popular sweetener is monk fruit sweetener, also called monk fruit extract. Monk fruit sweetener has been around for decades but has recently grown in popularity since it’s become more readily available.
It’s natural, contains zero calories and is 100–250 times sweeter than sugar. It is also thought to have antioxidant properties.
