Special Ingredients Sodium Alginate 100g Molecular Gastronomy Ingredient

I have now replaced the branded product to treat my silent reflux; it's the active ingredient and much cheaper. After a few attempts, I found the powder dissolved best if dropped into some water (say 200ml) pinch by pinch, while whisking vigorously till the right consistency. Then I let it stand a while and added some vanilla syrup (the sort that gets added to coffee) for a nice flavour, before putting in a glass jar in the fridge. Thanks to the other ratings comments here which led me to try it!

Mixed with a bit of water, this is really good for preventing nighttime acid reflux. It's one of the ingredients of Gaviscon Advance, but as some of the other ingredients of that don't agree with my stomach, this is great. I use half a teaspoon, stir it and leave it for a minute. Makes a flavourless gel which is easy to drink once you get past the strange texture. I'm sure it's great for cooking too as a tiny bit of powder makes a lot of gel. My GP recommended this to prevent damage to my throat.

Used to make jelly worms, great fun

Super. Used to make alginate worms. Kids loved them, although be prepared to stir to get it dissolved. By hand it took me 40 odd minutes to dissolve.

Used to make it own alternative to Gaviscon

Not what I expected. But that's not the fault of the product. I am sure it's very good

As expected. Thank you

Fantastic product, bought to experiment with cooking styles, the most impressive thing is it was in my clutches less than 24 hours after I bought it :)
