Good for vegan

Friends and I held a themed drinks night where I made jello shots in petri dishes for my major, but some of my friends are vegan. We use agar powder in the lab irl and this was a great gelatin alternative which set quickly and did not have any funky taste, smell, or texture. Happy with how they turned out, this agar powder worked great!

Very nice, but ignore the instructions. The bottle calls for 2 tbsp for 1 pint. Following it will result in gummies or something. You can experiment w ratio of agar and water, but for me, approximately 3~ g for 1 1/12 cup water is good enough. The jelly is not completely clear, and result in a pale yellow color. The taste is barely noticeable compared to the telephone brand. Also dissolve the agar in room temp water first, and heat gradually until boiling; otherwise the agar will clump up and burn when the water temp is too high too quickly. Also the agar will separate and remain gritty at the bottom if it hadnt been melted through. Downside is that product is only filled 60% in the bottle. So a bit decieving, the bottle should just be smaller if the agar isnt even filled to the top. It is also quite pricey for the quantity of product you get.

I'm using this to make gel Fish food, so a bit different from how everyone else uses it! Works great - a little tricky having never used Agar before, and only used regular gelatin once before. Was refusing to set up properly despite having 2 tbsp added into mixture until I looked at the bottle! COOK for 5 minutes! Cooked my fish icing in a pot on low for about 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly. It began setting up/getting firm as soon as I started pouring it into the dishes for the fridge. I let it sit on the counter for less than 5 minutes and it was already decently unmovable/jello. (I got the same effecting using regular gelatin, without the cooking part!) Very nice product!! Perfect amount for a very decent price. Will definitely keep ordering this stuff :)

Worked famously for vegan deviled eggs! Egg whites had a texture soooo close to real egg. Now I just need to figure out some other uses for it!

I actually didn't buy this product because I was vegetarian. I love meat and have no problem using gelatin for most of my jelly-like desserts. However, some of the recipes I wanted to try out needed agar agar rather than gelatin because it required the gelling ingredient to be boiled in a sugar syrup; I would not have been able to substitute gelatin in this case, as it loses all its gelling abilities once it boils. I have used this agar agar for numerous recipes and am very happy with my purchase. Not sure what strength this product is, but the end texture of my foods has never left me feeling as if it was too weak. Great price for the amount of agar agar you are getting. It says on the bottle there are 38 servings of 1/2 tsp of agar agar, which would also mean there are 19 servings of 1 tsp of agar agar. I bought this item in March 2021, and the expiration date/best-by-date is 01/2024. Not sure how often they change their product stash, but for me this means that my agar agar would last 4 years. That might be important to some of you who might not use it that often. I know I personally purchased this smaller batch (2 oz) rather than most of the other agar agar powders on Amazon were selling (4 oz) because I was afraid I would end up wasting the product if I didn't use it frequently. There is also no smell coming off it (unlike gelatin, which has a slight smell) and it is just as colorless as gelatin, so it will not affect the end color of your foods. Overall highly recommend this product if needing to use agar agar in recipes.
