KAPPA CARRAGEENAN

It's awesome for my paper marbling

Excellent product we use this consistently to make vegan cheese with.

I use the carrageenan to make vegan cheese since I am trying to get away from dairy. It produced a nice texture, smelled and tasted OK.

I prefer this over agar agar in making vegan cheese, and less is required for the same recipe.

Works well for vegan cheese

I can't give a review of the quality of the product as I haven't used it yet but I can say the package arrived intact and on time. I did put the powder into another container, no reason except I wanted to do it, and the powder was dry and not clumpy at all - which can sometimes be an achievement here in the humid South.

This is my second time and not only is it a great price it firms up cheese nicely. Will definitely buy again!

For context, I've been successfully making vegan cheeses for 7 years using kappa carrageenan from the Modernist Pantry label. Recently it came time to restock my carrageenan again and I noticed a new brand available on Amazon that was selling at a big discount. There were some negative reviews that complained about a "fishy taste" but there weren't many of them, so I decided to take a chance with the FitLane Nutrition brand. Big mistake! As soon as I opened the bag I could smell an unpleasant odor unlike the Modernist Pantry brand which has no smell at all. I decided to make a batch of vegan mozzarella anyway, hoping that the odor would dissipate in the melting process. No such luck. I wouldn't describe it as "fishy", but my cheese tastes just as bad as this carrageenan smells. I'm throwing out the cheese and the FitLane Nurtrition kappa carrageenan along with it.
