Question:
Can you share a good recipe for gummy bears?
— Natalia Georgescu
Answer:
Well, I just made, I just, um, talked about agar a minute ago and Agar is vegan replacement for bovine gelatin for animal gelatin. It's been used for millennia. Absolutely. It's easy to use once you know how to do it. And um, once you would've had to work with it. And so to make gummy bears you want, you know, a really nice fruit juice. You wanna have some agar in there as well. And when you're using agar, you have to test because it is a natural product. Different brands vary. The kind of juice that you're using is going to affect the gelling powder power, excuse me, of the product.
