Agar Agar Powder- Thai Thailand Asian International Food 25g.x3packets.

I bought this to make the viral crystal candy ... these 3 bags will last forever!!! Such a good deal, it works awesome, currently very impatiently letting my crystal candy dry out (it's been 8 days lol) but this stuff is great!!! They don't expire for almost 2 years out and I will ALWAYS come back to this brand again and again!!

I bought this to make crystal candy ,it turned out great.

This is the stuff you need for Japanese Crystal Candy! I tried 2 other brands and they didn’t set like this brand does. Perfect!

So as far as agar agar powder goes, this was my first run with it. I'd purchased it to try and make Kohakutou, which is a jelly candy.While making the mixture (water, agar agar) I noticed that it wasn't all that clear before I added the sugar.It's not necessarily an issue but if you're looking for an agar agar powder for aesthetic purposes I'd try another brand. When I added food coloring to the mixture it was a little difficult to stir with the toothpick, and I have to wonder if maybe that was because of the cooking time rather than the product itself.When the candies set up after a few days there was some nice color but still rather cloudy in consistency. The specific recipe I followed called to let the mixture set in the fridge, and then after cutting up to let air dry over the next few days to form a crystalline shell around the gelatin. If you're just making jellies then the agar mixture sets within a few hours just fine! I will say that when I was pulling apart the jelly it was really dense and thick, but figure that was either cooking time or the recipe I followed.As far as taste goes I didn't really smell or taste anything unusual when eating the candies outside of the sugar content I'd put in. When boiling the ingredients together in the pot though I did smell something, but it wasn't unpleasant. I'd say it was like a faint... like... grassy scent-- clean though. Not sure how to explain it, but it was faintly like boiling plants, lol. Which makes sense since agar agar is made from seaweed!

Good for mycology

Works great

I purchased this item for a recipe I was working with and it seemed to have done the job but I haven't used all of it and doesn't seem to have many other purposes

Needed this for a recipe. Good value. Worked perfectly.
