USA, JAPAN, CHINA...? Thanks.** A: USA, Illinois **Q: How to make marshmallows with agar powder** A: @Jcgroff I didn't like marshmallows until I made them homemade. (An experiment, to stuff in sweet potato balls rolled in coconut and toasted, for a contest type blogging party. November blog fodder annual local gathering, like early Thanksgiving. .) I didn't use this product but focused on gluten and corn free at the time.) I'm particularly searching out a non animal gelatin for this exact purpose, as I came upon these comments. Loved to learn that a different product was suggested. Researching that product next. I doubt you will see this comment but I thought it might help others. (Btw, homemade marshmallows need to age/harden/cure? for that purpose. I only gave them 24 hours and they didn't hold up in the recipe. But, I've used my recipe to make fresh marshmallow cream for my daughters rice krispy treats. It was a gooey successful mess. A beautiful disaster "kitchen miracle.") **Q: Is this agar organic?** A: Here's what the now food company says: "Free of: sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg or preservatives. Other Ingredients: Agar-Agar Powder; 100% pure. Agar Powder is derived entirely from natural seaweed. Warnings: None Disclaimers: None This product is sold by weight not volume. Product of Morocco." ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 13 July 2023* Good ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awsome for Vegan Receipt *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 27 March 2022* Awsome for Vegan Receipts ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ طريقة الاستخدام *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 23 November 2020* يستخدم في صناعه الموس لكنه سعره غالي في متجركم ## Frequently Bought Together - NOW Foods, Agar Pure Powder, Vegetarian Substitute for Gelatin, Gluten-free, Kosher, 2-Ounce - Gummy Bear Candy Molds Silicone, Gummy Molds with 2 Droppers, Non-Stick Silicone Candy Molds Including Mini Dinosaur, Bear Shape, Hearts and Mini Donut, Set of 4 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/251970406-now-real-food-agar-powder-plant-based-agar-agar-powder](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/251970406-now-real-food-agar-powder-plant-based-agar-agar-powder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
