The quality of this product is good. I used it to make a classic Bird’s Milk cake, and it turned out perfectly. Although the package doesn’t specify the agar’s gel strength, based on the final result, it appears to be around 900, which worked exactly as expected.

Agar Agar is a gelatin, but a little thicker-sturdier. Tasteless. I used it for making clear eggs (forms) with vegetables inside and it worked mostly well. A few broke (thus one star removed) but to be honest that might be me not mixing well, or long enough. It’s a good thickener though. Remains nice and clear. I’d buy it again.

In an effort to ban beef and bovine products from my dog's diet (at least for now), I purchased this to make her gelatin treats. It sets up similar to the typical beef based gelatins but requires boiling to set instead of blooming and refrigeration. That makes it a quicker process if I find I am running low. I learned about aga agar in culinary school but this is the first time personally using it. I found making the switch to be easy and successful the first try.
