Pure Super Agar Powder - High Gel Strength Gracilaria Algae ⊘ Non-GMO Vegan OU Kosher Certified 50g/2oz

This is a super star of the agar powders easy! I cannot say enough of what a difference it made for what I am prepareing. There is a sweet treat called zefir or zefyr, that's a Russian style marshmallow. It requires agar, and gelatin won't sub it. I used a different company agar powder before and figured, something was not going right. Sure enough, it was weak, to compare to this power house! And the quality is excelent, not only strength. It doesn't creat the little droplets of stiffen agar syrup inside the pieces of zefir. I did not sense any odd smell. I did not detect any influence of the agar on the taste of the final product. And last but not least, I only need 5 g of the poweder, not 6 as the recipe called for, because after experimenting, it discovered, it was really super strong. So bottom line, you need less of the product, its super strong and works excelent while being mixed with the egg whites/apple sauce mixture. If you need agar powder, you found it! And to add to the discription, here is the picture of zefir. Update: since I bought it the first time, I reordered it again, because it shows consistently great results! I absolutely love this product! It's simply the best!

I have tried different brands. And so far, only this agar completely satisfies me. I really like to use this for making marshmallows (zefir). This product is the best.

what I want to say. I am not a professional chef. But very good one. The product of this company very high level. the only thing I dislike is that the instructions and descriptions of the percentage I have not found. I think it is important to know the dosage of the compound And the percentage of 1 gram of product. Thanks to my parents that controlled my studies at school and university. My knowledge of chemistry helped me. Preservatives this is NOT A TOY. As the raw material forms a certain structure. Question? Where is this information? So I love every product from this company,but I wish they do just like that:" Approximate dosage confectionery is 1-1.2% by weight of the finished product. Depending on the content of the basic substance gelling ability of agar or gel strength." Thanks!

Worked great to stabilize whipped cream for a pie topping. The cream stayed solid with no fluid loss for two days. And it added no odd flavor.

This is a good price for the strength. There aren't any recipes that I have found that use this super agar in their ratios. You have to experiment first with the strength because this stuff is agar on steroids. A very small amount goes far. If there was an exact ratio to convert from regular strength agar agar this would earn an extra star from me. All and all, it's a great high quality product and does save you some space in the pantry. Also for anyone complaining about a terrible taste, I'll help you out here. I know that agar only has to reach a certain temperature while mixing for about a minute (simmering is about right) to activate its gelling properties, but just have a little patience and whisk it while simmering for a whole 5 minutes. Did I solve your problem?? That distinctive agar taste should be eliminated or severely lessened.

When Kitchen Alchemy indicated that this product is Super Agar, they were not fibbing. This was my first Agar purchase of any kind and being new to using this product I wasn't sure what to expect. I used it to make plant based and vegan cheese. My cheese didn't come out bad. I think that the recipe I followed may have used a less superior quality of Agar and Super Agar appears to be far superior than many brands on the market (after doing research). So now I have to figure out how to reduce the amount of SA so that my recipe's come out PERFECT. All in all I really like this product. It's certified Kosher and Vegan and has all kinds of other designations. I've since purchased Carrageenan and Tapioca Starch and a few other items and have not been disappointed. I only wish there were larger sizes to purchase.

I totally love this Agar Agar powder, I bought this especially to make a fruits cake for my Cookery and crafts channel. It turned awesome , I also recommended my friends when they ask where did u buy I said through Amazon, I have also included in my video. One important thing when u buy Agar Agar from anyone make sure ingredients should be only Agar Agar. Thanks & regards Katty

I have had trouble in the past getting agar to actually gel. This one did such a fantastic job at jelling that I'll probably decrease the amount that I use in the future. This one is more expensive than other agars, but you don't need as much for a given recipe, so a little goes pretty far. And it is so easy to use. Well worth the cost!
