Serves my purpose

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2022

I have yet to use this in recipes, but I understand it is often used to replace gelatin.

I'm diabetic, and if I decide to eat something a diabetic normally shouldn't be eating, I'll swallow a spoonful of this stuff first, and wash it down with water, to prevent the next thing I eat from spiking my blood sugar.

Anyone who wants to do likewise should be aware that this can be dangerous if you don't drink enough water, because the product can solidify in the colon, which might necessitate surgery. One teaspoon of agar with 12 ounces of water seems to work for me.

I did not rate the flavor, because this product is not supposed to have a flavor. If it does have a flavor, that probably means it's contaminated.

Worth the price and amount

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2020

Love it. Worth the money. I had previously bought agar at the asian store which would cost 5 bucks for a small mere packet about the size of a ketchup packet. Anyways made it with dog treats and regular fruit jello for my self and it works great. Product reccomends 1 tsp per cup but i was able to do 1/2 tsp for 1 cup as well. Definitely worth the price and a big size bottle. Buying this again.

Very good product

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2018

This is a great product, seems to be stronger than what most recipes (that I need it for) ask for, I find that less of this product does the job well, and if I use what recipes call for my desserts are too firm. Which is great because this agar agar will last me longer. I definitely recommend it!

I used this agar powder to make fruit snacks for my kids. The agar powder worked perfect. It doesn’t have a taste which is good, because I wanted to taste the flavor of the fruit.

Great product to keep fruit mousses vegetarian!

I used Now Foods Agar Pure Powder to make a vegetarian mango mousse cake. The Now Foods Agar Pure Powder is as easy to use as gelatin and is economical. I substituted the gelatin power measurement required with Now Foods Agar Pure Powder. The mousse turned out great and is a great way to keep all your fruit mousses vegetarian!

There wasn’t really any flavor. I was able to color it by using food dye. A vegan way to use the gelatin.

Valuable culinary addition, but NOT a gelatine replacement!

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

Completely tasteless, which is good! Now, this is a "vegetarian gelatine" substitute, but, let's be honest. It costs more than gelatine. It cannot replace gelatine. It uses alge, which is plant life, from the sea, and is therefore in no way vegan- which is good! Vegan diets are dangerous, especially for those who cannot obtain B- vitamins from vegetable sources, which is me, and nearly every woman on the planet.
All that aside, this is not so much a gelatine replacement as it is a different gelling agent, and that is a incredible bonus in your dietary repertoire. This sets more firmly, and it stays set, even at room temperature. That allows you to provide pretty fancies at a gathering, without needing to keep it chilled. A lot of people become too concerned about safe food temperature, but that is not my concern. Very seriously, if it isn't spoiled, shut up and eat what you are served. Or, don't eat. I'm entirely too delighted by the ability to serve firm, chewy gummy candy to care about someone's obsessive dietary woes.
For many years, I used lots of gelatine, very little liquid, and left my gummies out to dry. I don't need to do that now.
What is incredible is that you can use this agar powder AND gelatine to make a double textured confection. This delights my daughter, who thinks it is so fun.

Take 1/2 tsp of gelatine and 1/2 cup juice, any kind you like
Take also 1/2 tsp agar powder and 1/2 cup juice
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatine over the juice. Let sit for five minutes. Warm in microwave (5-10 seconds, it needs to be body temperature, no more) Stir, and let chill while you do the next step. Sprinkle the agar powder over the juice in a small saucepan. Simmer for five minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to body temperature. Pour over thickened gelatine, and return to chill, until both are solid. Turn out on service plate. Recipe makes one portion.

This is a wonderful twist on that fabulous gelatine mould. The difference in texture allows you to explore the culinary differences when you are testing and creating meals. Variety is necessary, and, we tried this as an educational lesson. Home economics is a serious skill, and this is an inexpensive, tasty lesson in gelatine experience. It also allows you to incorporate different foods into your diet, which is a sadly lacking feature today, which is yet another lesson, that of nutrition...
