After experimenting with store-bought gummies full of gelatin and artificial ingredients, I tried making my own healthy version using this agar agar powder. The results were surprisingly good – with a few learning curves along the way. What Worked Well: - Created firm, bite-resistant gummy worms that held shape perfectly - Neutral taste didn't compete with my fruit juice flavors - Set up faster than gelatin (about 15-20 minutes at room temp) - Vegan/kosher/halal friendly unlike animal-based gelatin The Learning Process: First batch mistakes: • Used too much powder = rubbery texture • Didn't stir enough = slight graininess • Poured too hot = fruit juice nutrients degraded Texture Notes: - More "al dente" than gelatin gummies - Less melt-in-your-mouth, more substantial chew - Holds up better in lunchboxes Tips: 1. Add 1/4 tsp citric acid for sour gummies 2. Use silicone molds for easiest release 3. Dust with arrowroot powder to prevent sticking 4. Works great with fresh juice or herbal teas 5.Perfect batch formula: - 1 tsp powder per cup liquid - Constant whisking while cooling - Added flavors at 140°F (60°C) Unexpected Benefits: - The kids didn't notice the switch from store gummies - Cleanup was easier than sticky gelatin - Shelf-stable at room temperature While it requires some technique adjustments, this agar agar makes exceptional healthy gummies. The texture takes getting used to, but the nutritional benefits outweigh the learning curve. Worth buying in bulk if you're serious about clean snacks.

Works amazing! Bought this to make the gem candies and they turned out amazing!

Easy to use and worked for the rock candy my son was trying to make.

Easy to use. I made some really awesome homemade marshmallows that were very yummy!

It won’t make gummies how we have them in the US but more of a soft or hard jelly. So the agar agar does its job. It’s a nice and fine powder that dissolves quickly without lumps but don’t think you’ll be able to make gummies with the same texture as usu g gelatin

I really love this product very useful

As advertised n works well

So this was my first time trying this. I made gummies and it came out great. I think maybe I put too much of the agar agar in the mix. The gummy taste good but is a little chalky. I’m going to try making again but use a little bit of the agar agar.
