Kappa Carrageenan (Refined) 4 Ounces

This is a hallelujah product if you, like me, are making vegan cheese. Hardens the cheese up to the point where grating, not to mention slicing, becomes effortless. A bit pricey ($52/lb) it’s still essential if you want to get your “hard” vegan cheeses just right.

This worked great for my vegan cheese. The cheese melts, spreads and even browns beautifully although the last is probably due to other ingredients. Highly recommend as a setting agent! This is better than agar.

Excellent stuff! Much easier to use than cornstarch. Can be added directly into whatever it is that you're making without pre-mixing, and you just need a LITTLE bit to achieve a thickening result.

I did not use this for food preparation, I used this as size for marbling and did not have good results. The colors did not float nor disperse as they should have. I know that the consistency of paint and amount of ox gall have a lot to do with this too. I have heard that Lambda Carrageenan is better for marbling, will try that next.

The carrageenan arrived on time and in good condition. It looks just like it's advertised. If there are any issues after I've used it, I'll update this review.Update: I've used it a few times now when making vegan cheese. It works relatively well as a gelling agent; I don't think anything else could work better and still be vegan. I'm quite satisfied with the Kappa Carrageenan.

I bought this for my vegan cheese recipes. While the final product is never as good as “real cheese,” this ingredient makes better vegan cheese than agar-agar. I’m happy with my purchase.

Absolutely worked like a charm!!! I used this in my handmade soap making process to produce a jelly soap.It is ideal. They feel like a large gummy bear but soap up and are fantastic fun for kids. Vondassoapsnsuch.com or find me on facebook if you are interested.

I buy a lot of carrageenan throughout the year. I have never gotten a batch that is brown. I mixed up a batch as soon as the product arrived. After 9 hours of cooling, the gel didn't set.I tried to return the order but it turns out I can't for some reason. So, I'm leaving a cautionary review. The problem may be limited but beware that you can't return the product if it's bad. I'd steer clear of this brand and find another!WASTE OF MONEY!!!
