LIVING JINAgar Agar Powder, 4 oz. Kosher, Plant-Based Gelatin Powder, Vegan Agar Agar, Vegan Jello, Sugar-Free, 100% Natural Red Algae

Great quality and strength for any food project. Works just like gelatin. Dont forget to bloom it first though by having it sit in cold water for 1-2mins.

Good product

Living Jin is the ONLY agar agar that does not gloop up on me, I had bought another brand and what a waste, can't use it at all and wasted about 10lbs of sugar trying over and over. Re-ordered Living Jin and its been perfect every batch!! Mahalo for the quality!!

Works well, but I'm confused with the units of force. Need to experiment.

I don't notice a taste when I use this in my cooking.I usually use this in my homemade yogurt. For whatever reason, I have a very hard time getting my homemade coconut milk yogurt to thicken the way I like it, which is Greek yogurt thick. I have followed recipes that say to use only full fat canned yogurt, only the cream at that, and probiotics. Very simple and very watery even after 24 hours of processing.Recently, I changed how I make coconut yogurt in my instant pot. I use the whole can now and I switched to a vegan yogurt starter. A lot of improvement, but still not quite there. I tried adding other thickeners in addition to the starter. Sunflower lecithin was my first try. Didn't work for me the yogurt had a funny flavor and was very dark in color. Next!! Xanthan gum was my next try. Better, no funny flavor, got pristine looking yogurt, but the texture was gritty at the level of xanthan gum that I was using. Next!! Agar agar powder (not flakes, you would need about 3 times the amount of flakes to replace the powder). 1 teaspoon was the amount I started with and didn't get any farther. It really improved the consistency of the yogurt, it was white, and no gritty feeling. True it still doesn't come out Greek yogurt thick right out of the instant pot, but after a few hours of refrigeration it's fairly close. If I decide to get it thicker, I'll update my review. As things stand, I can recommend this product.

It’s a little complicated to use but it’s a really good product if you know how to use it

Don't try to make Jello with it. first I tried as instruction, 1tsp per 1 cup of water or jurice, the texture come out very hard. then I cut it only 1 tsp per 2 cup, it still come out hard, not soft jello. also even with just water the color come out as off white not clear jello. don't waste money if you want to make soft jello.change from one to three star, for good customer service, seller contact me and offer full refund on the item.

LIVING JIN Agar Agar Powder (4oz) Vegan Gelatin Substitute, Certified Gluten-free, Non-GMO, 100%, Sugar-free, Halal, Desserts, 100% Natural Red AlgaeI ordered this agar agar more than a year ago and never got around to using it. Finally, last week I used it to make Japanese Kohakutou jelly candies. I had been told that the recipe would only work with a different brand of agar agar. I was pleasantly surprised that the Living Jin brand worked perfectly. It dissolved easily and had a very clear color. The candies also set up perfectly. My only complaint is that I was trying to find more recipes for using this brand, but could not find them. I definitely recommend this product.
