BulkSupplements.com Agar Agar Powder - Agar Agar Gelatin Powder, Vegan Alternative - Gluten Free & Sugar Free, 4g per Serving, 1kg (2.2 lbs) (Pack of 1)

I make my own medication and this product is exactly what I needed.

The Good: 3 grams of fiber with no added sugar. I want to experiment with coconut water and pineapple juice smoothies. I know I can make gelatin, but I also want to try to make juice base smoothies thicker.The Bad: Like any thickeners, it is best to use very hot water for best results. I will see how coconut water reacts to heat.Overall: Glad to have this to do trials and errors, and not rely on cornstarch or other chemical thickeners. The holidays are coming up, so I will be able to test my ideas out.

I like that it's in a resealable pouch. I'm glad I could stock up.

This is a "tough" review. I got this to make homemade gummies, using this for "gum" xylitol for sweetener and Licorice extract for flavor. It worked fine, but, I won't be making them often and so I have 2 lifetime supply of Agar Agar. The product does its job just fine. I will put in a plug for the manufacturer though, I've come to trust them to deliver a high quality product at a good price.

This is great stuff, i got it to thicken my laundry detergent and it did exactly that. Highly recommend

So starting off this product came quickly and will probably last me a very long time because you don't use a lot honestly if I'd known how much I was going to end up using it probably would have ordered a smaller much smaller containerHowever for a first time using a vegan friendly gelatin substitute it was not the easiestNo don't get me wrong if you are looking for a Jello consistency this did that too great successBut if you are looking more of a jelly consistency or just a thickener you're going to want to experiment a little bit otherwise like me you will end up with dandelion Jello it was good and now that I'm talking about it I'm craving it againBut not be exact results I was looking for what's delayed a business opportunitySucks to suck on my part

I have used Agar Agar in its raw form to make Almond Jelly before. It's my first time using Agar Agar powder to make Almond Jelly. On the bag, it has instructions on how to use it as a thickener. I wish it came with recipes and instructions on how to use it to make desserts. At first, I thought it was an instant powder that you would only need to add hot water to it, but it wouldn't set at all. Then, I found instructions on other Agar Agar powder pages on Amazon and came up with my own.If you want it to set or solidify, you must boil the liquid. Since my first attempt didn't set, I used a bit more powder than needed. I added 2 level tablespoonful of the powder to about 3 cups of water and brought it to a boil. I let it simmer on low for about a couple minutes and it started to thicken. Then, I turned off the stove and added a cup of milk to it, along with sugar and a bit of almond extract. In the end, it made about 3.5 cups of almond jelly. The jelly set within an hour and it was a bit firm, so I think I need to more liquid next time. That said, if you're making a firmer dessert, my ratio might be right.The powder is convenient to use and it came in a resealable bag. I just need to figure out the correct ratios for different desserts. No country of origin listed.

I like this agar-agar for my halal baking cakes.
