Kanten is served as a treat at the end of a macrobiotic meal. Kanten is a relaxing and very digestible dessert with no added sugar or gluten. The main ingredient is agar-agar which is a sea vegetable. It is important to purchase organic or good quality agar-agar since it is a key ingredient. Prepare this dessert the night before to allow time to set before serving.
