ok i found 3 different boxes of agar powder
the first one says ingrediants are just agar agar power and i cant read anything else cuz its asian
 the second box says agar agar powder on the front they had different flavors but this one had no flavors added ALLTHOUGH in the ingrediants it says agar agar and sugar it says it has 10 g sugar/sucre
 the third box is actually a packet it says telephone brand agar powder with no sugar in it at all straight agar powder but its WAY more expensive

now of course i did my research i found amny many threads discussing this issue but NOBODY answers the question directly they just talk about the science behind it and dont say weather or not there should be any sugar in it at all or if sense it has sugar you dont add the other nutrients that give it sugar...
i know when you make agar you add stuff with sugar in it so does this mean i dont add those things or is this normal???
i would love for anyone to answer this question for me, agar agar with sugar ok or not??? and if yes do i add less of the other nutes with sugar or what???
thank you so much for everybodys time!!!!!
ps. found malt extract to but its in syrup form it says traditional barley malt untreated extract will this work for agar or lc's???

I think the 'sugar' is saccharides from the agar, not 'added sugar'.
