veggies using a process called extrusion. Roughly

chop 1 cup of your fruit or veggies into chunks,

put them in the blender and cover with water,

and blend until the mix is smooth. (If you want

noodles in two different colors, like the golden

beet and cranberry noodles pictured here, you’ll

have to make two batches.)

Add water so you have 1½ cups (355 mL)

solution. Pour it into a pot and bring it to a boil.

Once it’s boiling, add 0.2 ounces (6 g) of agar

agar completely dissolves, then place

a drop onto a plate and watch to see

if it gels. If not, add more agar.

Time to get squeezing! Affix

your tubing to the syringe and push

the plunger all the way in, and then

draw a small amount of air into the

tube. Then place the tube’s open end

into the mixture and draw brightly

colored fruit-and-agar juice into the

tube until it’s full.

Next up, let the tubing cool in a

bowl of ice water for 3 minutes. You

can leave the syringe attached. Be

patient—let the tubing get really cold!

plate and enjoy!

The Agar Lab

To suck the juice mix

and pull back on the

is full.

Once the tube has

cooled, push the

plunger back in and

the noodle should
