LIVING JIN Agar Agar Powder, 12 oz. Plant-Based Gelatin Powder, Vegan Agar Agar, Vegan Jello, Sugar-Free, 100% Natural Red Algae

Made a nice, egg/allergy free caramel flan with this. Came out fantastic! I don't do much baking but this little bag will definitely last me a good year.

I put together a 70th birthday party for my brother who is vegan… I made flan as part of the dessert and it called tour agar agar. I’ve never used it before I don’t know that I’ll use it again however it worked fine and it created flaw with the other ingredients. That’s as much as I know…

Stuff worked well for gummies! Now to tweak my gummies!

I was expecting this product to be larger than it actually was. Product in itself is great and easy to use. Will need a lot more than I was expecting to use/ need for my gummies. Will purchase again but try and find a larger quantity. Gave 4 stars but its worth 5 if it was a little larger for the dollar amount.

Product arrived as described.

I made my son some homemade gummies with the agar agar and apple juice, I was so worried it would be a sticky mess and awful to clean but the gummies popped right out of the molds with no cleanup needed! All of them popped right out and look so cute. Highly recommend!

It works but tastes bad.

For everyone wondering how to make this into nutrient-rich agar for petri dish use(Also to add, this agar taste great and makes great Japanese desserts):Hello all!,You CAN use this agar to PRODUCE nutrient-rich agar. I have done it many times and it works just as well as lab-grade nutrient rich agar. Just follow this procedure:•Your desired amount of sterile petri dishes (keep them unopened in fridge until ready for use to prevent condensation)•Clean cotton swabs•One cup of distilled water (DO NOT use tap water unless you have a filter, it normally contains free chlorine/chloride particles, which will kill the bacteria/fungus)•One beef boullion cube•One-third cup of sugar•A small/medium sized soup ladle•Two and a half tablespoons of this agar:**(this is enough for me to make 20-23 90mm × 25 dishes)**-Pour water into pot and let it heat up. Put all ingredients into pot, let them dizzolve into the hot water and stir regularly, do not let it burn or boil for too long. Once all ingredients are dizzolved, remove pot from heat and let it cool for about two mintues.-Remove dishes from fridge and open the one intended for immediate use. Gently but expeditiously ladle agar mix into the dishes. (Be sure to pour an equal amount; Not too much, or not to little into each dish. If you underpour, the colonies won't have enough nutrients plus the agar will dry out. Over pour and they won't have enough air and will die). Let some steam escape for a few seconds, then place lid on. Repeat process for each dish.-Once complete, gently use both hands to place them back into the fridge. It usually takes about two and a half hours for them to cool enough for use (the fun part).-Once ready, get your clean swabs and either wet the tip intended for use with distilled water, or leave it dry, and rub it along the surface of the tested specimen. Be sure not to contaminate the dish with your hands, and rub the swab along the surface of the firm agar in your preferred pattern.-Immediately close, tape the edges shut, and label the dish via dry erase marker or with a tape label. Place the dishes in an area away from high traffic and in a relatively shady location (to encourage fungi growth), and document/examine the growth every twelve hours (bacteria tend to replicate so much that they double in numbers approx. every twelve hours) up until you are done with the experiment. Discard of dishes carefully. Do not reuse dishes unless they are made of glass. If reusing glass disher, wear protective safety attire and sterilize with a water-bleach solution for reuse.**Please remeber that since it is getting cold, If you do not have an incubator in your home (which most people do not), make sure your thermostat is NOT below 70° Fahrenheit. Bacteria have trouble surviving in temperatures below this, so the warmer, the better. Also, the colder it is, the slower the bacteria colonies will grow and the longer it will take for you to see some impressive results.Have fun and please stay safe!
