## Description

Review: AMAZING for LME Petri dishes! - I tried 3 times with a different brand and just couldn’t get it to solidify. This stuff solidifies within 10 minutes! I recommend using about 6g for 500ml LME agar. I used 8.5g the first time(I was a bit paranoid after the first useless brand) and it was a bit too solid. I used 7.3 the second time and it was still a bit too solid. I’m gonna use 6g in a day or so. Will report back but I’m confident this will be the right amount! Definitely buy this brand! EDIT- I use 6.5g per 500ml. Amazing stuff!
Review: Works Great - I ordered agar powder for my wife. She used it to make strawberry marshmallows, and they turned out good on the first try. The powder is strong and works well, delivering the right texture and consistency. Plus, the pouch contains a decent amount, making it a great value for the price. We're very pleased with this product and will definitely be ordering it again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you tell me how many agar plates this  4 oz packet will make?**
A: Hello-This is a difficult question to answer.  It really depends upon the size of the petri dishes you are charging and the amount of nutrients you add to the mixture.  15 grams of our 900g/cm2 gel strength straight agar agar will gel 1 liter of distilled water.  1 liter of solution will charge approximately 40, 100mm x 15mm polystyrene dishes at an average fill of 25ml per dish.  I hope this information is helpful.  Please let us know if we can be of additional assistance.

**Q: MIXING INSTRUCTIONS**
A: I use 1/2 teaspoon per cup. Sprinkle on top of some cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes and let cool. Add other ingredients like juice. Example use 2 teaspoons of agar with 1 cup of water and after simmering add 3 cups of apple juice.

**Q: Does this have an expiration date?**
A: Yes it does have an expiration date. We don't have the original package it came in so I can't tell you how long the expiration date is. Per your question I looked into it and it look like agar has a 2 year expiration date from the time it was manufacturered.  If store properly, like in the refigorator, it should last longer than 2 year. we refigerate alot of things to slow down the aging of it.

**Q: 900g/ml doesnt seem right..**
A: 1 ounce = 30 g, 4 ounces is 120 g.900 g/ml is the mass density. It is equal to 900,000 kg/m3 which is not correct at all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Favorite Brand for Kohakatou/ Crystal Candies
*by D***E on June 2, 2025*

Holy grail of agar agar powders! I’ve tried a few other brands which have worked for what I was using them for (kohakatou/ crystal candies) but never with the level of success since using this! I have to use less of this product than I’ve had to use with other brands as well, meaning this bag will last me much longer. It is very strong, sets within no time and the crystallization on my candies are great! Would highly recommend giving it a try if you haven’t succeeded with others before!
