5.0 out of 5 stars Gelling agent for vegetarians and vegans

4. · 29 June 2025

I’m a vegetarian who enjoys jellied puddings but sadly these are usually made with the aid of gelatine that has been extracted from animal bones, which as a vegetarian I do not want to consume. Using Agar Agar enables me is make homemade jellies using the gelling agent Agar extracted from seaweed, red algae to be precise. The ingredients of this product are 100% Agar Agar powder. Mine has a long best before date of April 2030. The product is an off white coloured fine grain and comes packaged in a plastic bottleThe instruction of usage on the side of package is a bit confusing and getting the correct quantity to use is a bit of trial and error. Using the internet as a guide I learned to used 1.5 to 2 tea spoons of the Agar Agar for every 2 cups worth. I used this to make a raspberry jelly which I whizzed up in a blender with adder water and sugar. First, I sprinkled a small amount of the Agar Agar into a small quantity of tap water in a pan. I heated up the water until all of the grains had dissolved into the water, it dissolves as 85 degrees, there is no need to boil like crazy. While still hot I tipped the water into the raspberry mixture and mixed well. Left to cool at room temperature, the jelly will start to set a below 40 degrees. When cool enough I transferred to the fridge so than it could be enjoyed chilled. And we all enjoyed it, was a proper jelly with a good wobble.If it goes wrong and is too solid or not solid enough it can be reheated and proportions altered. Agar agar is very forgiving.

I recently tried the 110g Agar Agar Powder, and it's quickly become a staple in my kitchen. As a 100% pure vegan gelatin substitute, it's perfect for anyone looking for plant-based options.I've used it for making various treats, from firm jellies to delicious jams, and it performs beautifully every time. It's truly food-grade and acts as an excellent thickener and stabiliser. The fact that it's rich in dietary fiber and gluten-free is an added bonus, making it a healthy choice.The powder dissolves easily and sets consistently, which is exactly what you want from a product like this. It's reliable and delivers great results, whether you're a seasoned cook or just experimenting with vegan alternatives. Highly recommended for its purity and versatility!

I like to make my own jam, as I find shop bought jams far too sweet. I also don't like all the additives that is added. Therefore, I make a very simple version in the microwave. I empty a bag of frozen mixed fruit (or any fruit of choice) and blast it in short bursts until it is completely defrosted.Then I drain off the water, add sugar or sweetener to taste and blend with an immersion blender/stick blender to the consistency I want. I like a few bits of fruit in mine, so I don't blitz it to a pulp. Then I mix Agar Agar into warm water, add to the mix and blast again in short bursts a couple of times in order to activate the Agar Agar. Then I put it into sterilised jars and store in the fridge once cooled.At £9.99 for 110g, at time of review, I feel represents good value for money 5 out of 5, very versatile.
