Now, this is a "vegetarian gelatine" substitute, but, let's be honest. It costs more than gelatine. It cannot replace gelatine. It uses alge, which is plant life, from the sea, and is therefore in no way vegan- which is good! Vegan diets are dangerous, especially for those who cannot obtain B- vitamins from vegetable sources, which is me, and nearly every woman on the planet. All that aside, this is not so much a gelatine replacement as it is a different gelling agent, and that is a incredible bonus in your dietary repertoire. This sets more firmly, and it stays set, even at room temperature. That allows you to provide pretty fancies at a gathering, without needing to keep it chilled. A lot of people become too concerned about safe food temperature, but that is not my concern. Very seriously, if it isn't spoiled, shut up and eat what you are served. Or, don't eat. I'm entirely too delighted by the ability to serve firm, chewy gummy candy to care about someone's obsessive dietary woes. For many years, I used lots of gelatine, very little liquid, and left my gummies out to dry. I don't need to do that now. What is incredible is that you can use this agar powder AND gelatine to make a double textured confection. This delights my daughter, who thinks it is so fun. Take 1/2 tsp of gelatine and 1/2 cup juice, any kind you like Take also 1/2 tsp agar powder and 1/2 cup juice In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatine over the juice. Let sit for five minutes. Warm in microwave (5-10 seconds, it needs to be body temperature, no more) Stir, and let chill while you do the next step. Sprinkle the agar powder over the juice in a small saucepan. Simmer for five minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to body temperature. Pour over thickened gelatine, and return to chill, until both are solid. Turn out on service plate. Recipe makes one portion. This is a wonderful twist on that fabulous gelatine mould. The difference in texture allows you to explore the culinary differences when you are testing and creating meals. Variety is necessary, and, we tried this as an educational lesson. Home economics is a serious skill, and this is an inexpensive, tasty lesson in gelatine experience. It also allows you to incorporate different foods into your diet, which is a sadly lacking feature today, which is yet another lesson, that of nutrition... ## Frequently Bought Together - NOW Foods, Agar Pure Powder, Vegetarian Substitute for Gelatin, Gluten-free, Kosher, 5-Ounce - Gummy Molds Bear Candy Silicone - Mini Size Chocolate Gummy Molds with 2 Droppers Nonstick Food Grade Silicone Pack of 4 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/264673465-now-foods-agar-powder-5oz](https://www.desertcart.be/products/264673465-now-foods-agar-powder-5oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
