VWR, Sigma, or Fisher should all have agar, and should be of very high purity. I’m going to second the suggestion to use a scientific supply company.

Sadly they are now defunct. Their Agar was just right and didn't have any odour at all. I do hope you find a product as good as mine used to be. Ken Jackson.

This year's event is a locally-sourced, multi-course dinner prepared by Lark's Chef Sundstrom from all natural, organically-grown food by the regional farmers, ranchers and wineries. Proceeds support and proliferate Seattle's organic community gardens. Hope you don't mind my posting this here; but we need more active supporters! Date: Sunday, September 23, 2007 More info at http://www.ppatchtrust.org and http://www.brownpapertickets/event/17428 If you decide to come, please let me know so I can greet you personally. ~ Hanahn Korman, P-Patch Trust board member Just got side-tracked to your blog while looking for online events calendars on which to post information about the P-Patch Trust’s fundraiser, “Chef in the Garden.” This year’s event is a locally-sourced, multi-course dinner prepared by Lark’s Chef Sundstrom from all natural, organically-grown food by the regional farmers, ranchers and wineries.

I use it for thickening sauces when I don't want to use eggs, flour, cream, corn starch, tapioca, gelatin, etc. One source is Bob's Red Mill (http://www.bobsredmill.com/). It can also be ordered online from amazon.com. Perhaps guar gum would do the job--also available from Bob's Red Mill. How about carrageenan, made from Irish Moss? Here's a source for that: http://members.aol.com/carragel/myhomepage/main.htm Love your blog ... Would Xanthan Gum work for you?

It's from Thailand (or Vietnam, not sure) and comes in little white and red packets. Check Viet Wah or Uwajimaya. Telephone brand.
