Used this along with calcium chloride to create edible water bottles aka water orbs in science class! After a little practice , the students became experts!

So I ordered this because every recipe I watched on YouTube or red online. All said the same thing that this is a must have to make them so I ordered this. It came the next day literally like the damn. It was here and I ordered a couple other food chemicals you need. And I failed it and I can bow but I think I made one batch. Of my fault though, because I didn't have the squeezy dropper thing. Medicine droppers don't work good enough but this product I have used for other stuff and I must say I'm almost out. I really love this stuff, I'm a Baker. So this comes in real handy. Never heard of it till the boba recipe but yeah, if you're trying to make boba, this is great. It works for a lot of other things too so good product. Definitely would recommend it if you were a biker

Very hard to mix without a blender. Easy clean up with just water though. Works very well once it has set to preferred thickness. I don't have a blender so I boil it and stir violently for 15 minutes or so. Works just fine until I get a blender.

Ordered for my sons science fair project. We used it to make popping boba beads. It worked perfect and his project was a success!

No instructions on the package for how you use this to thicken soup, sauces, etc. but I experimented and it's pretty easy to do.

I used this to heal a deep wound that would have required stitches. I would dust this over the wound to form a cap. I would do this as needed until it healed, using only this alginate. The wound healed and sealed up tightly, also it did not become infected. I made sure to clean only around the wound with soap and water. The results were near miraculous.

I am using this as a dye thickener for tie dye. I thicken water, then add dyes. Works without cooking. Takes an hour or so for full effect. Will turn the water colour just slightly greenish gold, but does not affect dye colour. I like that it's a natural substance.
