Amazing geling
I got this to do a Japanese candy for a travel talk at the local senior center and it works great!! I had tried using gelatin for my test run and it was a failure! The agar powder is the only way to go.

Amazing
Agar Agar arrived just on time (a little bit early!) Perfectly packaged and easy to use. I made fruit caviar with it and it worked perfectly. Solidifies nicely and really fast too. Left my mixture on the counter for maybe 20-30 minutes and when I got back, a perfect jelly! Amazing product! 5 out of 5 would recommend.

Sets well
From reading reviews of a number of agar agar products I see that a number of them have a bad taste used in the amounts required for acid juices. That is true of the Now Foods agar as well. I don’t know if the bad taste comes from the amount of agar used (1 Tbs per cup instead of 1 tsp) or if there is a reaction with the fruit juice. I made agar jelly with raspberry juice and with strawberry juice. Both were mealy and tasted like old glue smells. When I used less than 1Tbs agar powder per cup of juice it didn’t set.On the other hand jello/jelly made with water and fruit flavoring using this agar powder is excellent in texture and flavor.

Good value
I use this for thickening non-milk yogurt and it works great. I do not boil the water first (only about 150F) so I get a great texture and set on the yogurts. This size is more economical than the the smaller one based on my weekly usage. This does not impart any flavor to the food either.

Perfect for making vegan cheese
I use this agar powder for making my vegan cheeses. It works very well. It dissolves without leaving lumps in the finished product. And the price is very reasonable. I keep this on hand at all times!

Great product Great value!
Used to make vegan cheese from coconut milk. I've purchased this product before only in smaller quantity. Worked as expected in My recipe. The larger quantity is a better value and aided in the great results of my vegan cheese. Will definitely purchase again.
