Pagasa Gulaman Bars, also known as Agar-Agar Bars, are a type of jelly dessert made from agar-agar, a type of gelatinous substance derived from seaweed. The red variety is a popular flavor in the Philippines and is often used in desserts and snacks.
Similar to other colors, the Pagasa Gulaman Bars come in a rectangular bar shape and are typically sold in packages containing multiple bars. To prepare the jelly dessert, the bars are first soaked in water until they soften, and then boiled with sugar and water to create a thickened liquid. The mixture is then poured into molds and allowed to cool and set, forming a firm and jiggly jelly.
The red color of the Pagasa Gulaman Bars is achieved through the use of food coloring, and the bars may also be flavored with additional ingredients such as strawberry extract or other fruit flavors.
Pagasa Gulaman Bars are a popular dessert in the Philippines and can be found in many grocery stores and markets. They can be enjoyed on their own as a sweet snack or used as a topping for other desserts like shaved ice or fruit salad. They are also a popular ingredient in traditional Filipino desserts like buko pandan and halo-halo.
