Review: Excellent Quality Agar Agar Powder – A Must-Have for Plant-Based Cooking! - This agar agar powder is fantastic! It dissolves smoothly, sets beautifully, and delivers consistent results every time. I’ve used it for vegan jellies, puddings, cheesecakes, and even savory recipes, and it works perfectly without any weird taste or texture. I really appreciate how little you need to get a firm set—it’s very effective and lasts a long time. It’s a great plant-based alternative to gelatin, making it ideal for vegan and vegetarian recipes. The powder is fine, easy to measure, and activates quickly when heated, which makes cooking and baking much simpler. Overall, this is a high-quality, reliable agar agar powder that performs exactly as expected. I’ll definitely be repurchasing and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys cooking, baking, or experimenting with plant-based ingredients!
