This is the best...Makes my cheese very firm and delicious.....I am tried others but this does the best job so far.

Okay, it works, great for jelly and toffee and sweets and vegan sausages.

The quality of this product is good. I used it to make a classic Bird’s Milk cake, and it turned out perfectly. Although the package doesn’t specify the agar’s gel strength, based on the final result, it appears to be around 900, which worked exactly as expected.

Agar Agar is a gelatin, but a little thicker-sturdier. Tasteless. I used it for making clear eggs (forms) with vegetables inside and it worked mostly well. A few broke (thus one star removed) but to be honest that might be me not mixing well, or long enough. It’s a good thickener though. Remains nice and clear. I’d buy it again.

After experimenting with store-bought gummies full of gelatin and artificial ingredients, I tried making my own healthy version using this agar agar powder. The results were surprisingly good – with a few learning curves along the way. What Worked Well: - Created firm, bite-resistant gummy worms that held shape perfectly - Neutral taste didn't compete with my fruit juice flavors - Set up faster than gelatin (about 15-20 minutes at room temp) - Vegan/kosher/halal friendly unlike animal-based gelatin The Learning Process: First batch mistakes: • Used too much powder = rubbery texture • Didn't stir enough = slight graininess • Poured too hot = fruit juice nutrients degraded Texture Notes: - More "al dente" than gelatin gummies - Less melt-in-your-mouth, more substantial chew - Holds up better in lunchboxes Tips: 1. Add 1/4 tsp citric acid for sour gummies 2. Use silicone molds for easiest release 3. Dust with arrowroot powder to prevent sticking 4. Works great with fresh juice or herbal teas 5.Perfect batch formula: - 1 tsp powder per cup liquid - Constant whisking while cooling - Added flavors at 140°F (60°C) Unexpected Benefits: - The kids didn't notice the switch from store gummies - Cleanup was easier than sticky gelatin - Shelf-stable at room temperature While it requires some technique adjustments, this agar agar makes exceptional healthy gummies. The texture takes getting used to, but the nutritional benefits outweigh the learning curve. Worth buying in bulk if you're serious about clean snacks.
