6 oz Agar Agar Powder, 100% Pure, Premium Natural Thickener and Gelling Agent, Rich in Dietary Fiber, Suitable for Making Candies, Cheeses, Jellies, Jams and More

The daily dosage is 500 mg. The effect was too strong and kicked in so fast that I couldn’t sleep, which was really hard. After taking it for a few days, my eyes became very yellow, so I looked into it more and found out how important it is to stick to the daily dosage. I’m leaving this here in case it might be helpful

Excellent results in pastry fillings and decorations.

NOT FOR PETRI DISHES, WONT WORK FOR THAT!

Hmmm I think I haven't found the exact right use for xantham gum...it is sort of slimy when used for thickening sauces. I made gravy and an asian inspired soy ginger sauce and both had a slick slimy quality, which wasn't bad and didn't affect the taste at all. But when you are making a gf sauce or baked good...it's not going to be the same as wheat. I have not tried it in baked goods yet but I see it is an ingredient in many a gf flour...so the experimentation will continue. I'm definitely not kicking it out of the kitchen but I just haven't found the exact method or recipe for it yet.

Great for homemade ice cream making

Wanted to make the kids healthy gummies, follow the directions perfectly or it won’t work lol

This stuff is terrible for making Petri dishes! After autoclaving at 17psi for 25min (I’m at altitude so need the higher pressure to reach 250F (121C)), and letting it cool to 120F (49C) it seemed to pour OK at first, but then started to coagulate at around 115F (46C), becoming stringy and drooping from the media bottle spout. Then it became mostly liquid again during incubation at 26C, ruining my cultures and making a gooey mess. I tried increasing the quantity from the standard 20g/liter H2O all the way up to 35g/liter to no avail. It’s the worst agar I’ve ever seen in over 40 years of working with plates. Maybe it’s OK as a culinary thickening agent, but forget about it for any sort of lab work.

Finally I can make my smoothies more drinkable without being too cold from frozen fruit. I like the thickness of a malt instead of a shake, and a teaspoon to 2 cups of almond milk does it.
