Spherification Kit BASIC Modernist Kit ULTIMATE Modernist Kit What else do I need to make caviar pearls and boba spheres with sodium alginate? You need a calcium salt (calcium chloride for direct spherification, calcium lactate for reverse). We sell value packs with both ingredients included plus step-by-step instructions. Free video tutorials on our Kitchen Alchemy YouTube channel. How do I know this sodium alginate is truly food-grade and safe to use in cooking? Every batch is Non-GMO, Vegan, and OU Kosher Certified with full technical specs (viscosity, mesh size). We provide Certificate of Analysis, Safety Data Sheet, and Product Spec upon request. Our certifications are verified — not just label claims. Can I use sodium alginate for anything besides making caviar pearls and boba? Absolutely. Use it as a natural thickener for pie fillings, sauces, and dressings. Make keto noodles, improve ice cream texture, or create culinary foams. Beyond cooking, it's popular for tie-dye fabric art, bath bombs, and STEM science experiments. How much sodium alginate do I need, and how long does it last once opened? A little goes a long way — one 50g pouch makes about 17 cups of spherification solution. Stored sealed in a cool, dry place, it lasts practically indefinitely. Each pouch is resealable. Most home cooks find the 50g size gives months of experimenting. Can sodium alginate help with acid reflux, GERD, or LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux)? Sodium alginate is known for forming a "raft" that floats on stomach contents, which may help manage reflux symptoms. This is a food-grade ingredient, not a supplement or medication. Consult your doctor for medical advice about GERD or LPR treatment. We specialize exclusively in high-performance functional ingredients designed to transform texture, structure, and stability.

Well this ingredient helps make a nice substitute. It is not pasta, but is a better substitute than some of the other crazy noodles out there for low carb diets. This is expensive, so I tried the small packet set of calcium and Alginate first. My husband’s face lights up when he sees me making these noodles. They are more like a ramen noodle and hold up well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ONLY THING that got rid of my heartburn. *by on Reviewed in the United States June 1, 2022* I was told, by a doctor, to order a UK version of Gaviscon because of its unique, effective formulation. Problem was, it contained excipients that were totally unnecessary. That's a common problem with both OTC's and Prescribed meds: Too many sweetheart contracts with providers of those excipients, too many kickbacks, etc. I found the active ingredients were Sodium Alginate and Potassium Bicarbonate. Cool. I ordered 00 vegan capsules, loaded them with 5:1 of the above, as in the Gaviscon, and...... they worked! It breaks down to about $15 for 100 capsules, much less than what you pay for the formulations that contain garbage that does nothing. Do your own capsules, folks. I'm really glad I did.Update 4/24: To cut down on my sodium intake, I switched to using Potassium Alginate with the Potassium Bicarbonate. The Potassium Alginate has the exact same formula and structure, except there's a Potassium in place of the Sodium. It works exactly like my original formulation. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for making keto pasta with no carbohydrates *by on Reviewed in the United States May 22, 2022* I was amazed while making keto pasta (recipe by serious keto).The pasta, made with 5 ounces of canned white chicken looks and tasted like angel hair spaghetti. My son was also amazed when he tasted the pasta. He said “you really got something here!” He wants to learn how to make it himself. This stuff is really like the real thing, amazing. I am a diabetic with celiac disease and have tried many pasta replacements, and have given up on having pasta, which is a favorite of mine, until now. Please check out this keto noodle, you will not regret it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Pure Sodium Alginate (Molecular Gastronomy) ⊘ Non-GMO Vegan OU Kosher Certified- 100g/4oz - Pure Calcium Lactate ⊘ Non-GMO Vegan OU Kosher Certified - 400g/14oz - Pure Calcium Chloride ⊘ Non-GMO Vegan OU Kosher Certified - 400g/14oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/17925770-pure-sodium-alginate-molecular-gastronomy-non-gmo-vegan-ou-kosher](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/17925770-pure-sodium-alginate-molecular-gastronomy-non-gmo-vegan-ou-kosher) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
