 Wholesome and healthy!Aug 26, 2010

I am still somewhat new to using Agar Agar, however, am extremely happy with it. Eden's Agar Agar flakes are excellent and have zero calories.
There are many recipes that you can use Eden's Agar Agar with, and I encourage you to do an online search. Get creative and have fun! Personally, I have been making my own zero-calorie jello with this - except my zero calorie jello is all vegan and has no chemicals what-so-ever. I've been taking organic lemon juice (not lemonade... lemon juice), water, and liquid stevia (sometimes I choose orange liquid stevia). I mix in the agar agar flakes (as described on the back of the package) and my end result is an all-natural, zero-calorie, vegan jello dessert which is quite tasty.
There is another brand of Agar Agar flakes on Amazon that has 30 calories per serving (why, I do not know), so be weary of other brands. Be sure to check out the label. The Eden brand is pure agar agar. It is fantastic and I highly recommend it.
Great alternative to gelatinApr 11, 2012

This was my first time using Agar agar which I discovered in a chocolate mousse recipe without eggs. This Agar Agar works perfectly at solidfifying food. It liquifies when brought to a boil for A FEW minutes and solidifies when cold. The first time I was too quick and not all the agar had disolved, leaving some unpleasant crunchy bits. So, just make sure you keep the agar agar boiled long enough so that it completely liquifies. Doing this will produce great solid mousse and jellies. It is a great product because it is really tatsteless. It only does the job of solidifying food but does not alter its taste at all.

 Agar FlakesMar 03, 2011
By SunshyneSag
Would rate higher for quality but these are soooooo expensive for such a small amount of product. Eden needs to lower the price.

 May be spoiled product...Jul 02, 2011
By a metaphysician
"of erudition"
I received this item and although in the same packaging, the contents do not look the same as what I buy at the stores. I expected this item to be clear and crystalline in appearance. What I received was tan and crushed and I am afraid it may be old and spoiled. Amazon does not refer the buyer to online customer service so guess I will have to call. Not that they can help me as they won't know if the product is bad or not. This may have to be returned. What a hassle...
