This Is How Jell-O Is Really Made

“There’s always room for Jell-O.” Since it first hit shelves at the turn of the 20th century, Jell-O has stood out as one of the most popular, easy to make desserts. It’s been molded into salads, both fruity and savory, or used by college kids to make sweet, jellied shots.

We’ve got the full story on this jiggly box dessert. From its long-reaching history to its key ingredients, this is how Jell-O is really made.

Which flavor of Jell-O is your favorite?

Gelatin does have health benefits. It helps your digestive system, it helps your body maintain skin, bones, and connective tissues therefore its good for people with injuries in allowing the body to heal. The glycine in gelatin also is very good for your liver. Likewise, that "lack of nutrition" mentioned in the video is a good thing: you get the essential benefits listed above without lots of calories. That's actually a good thing. We consume too many calories today, this is a good thing to reduce that. It actually is healthy.

Jello might not be nutritious, but after being ill for several weeks and having lost my appetite for about that long, Jello was what I wanted and what got me eating again. I understand why hospitals serve so much of it. It is a gateway food to eating other foods that are more "hardcore."

If it's collagen, it helps joints, skin and hair. That makes it healthy in a different way.

Human-based jello? So that's where Soylent Green gets started. 😉

Pistachio was pudding and it was good. Pudding is a different food, based on a different thickener. So...

[JadieJamz]

If you're disgusted by jello, dont drink or eat grape flavored anything 🤣😂

More about gelatin than Jell-O would have been good. There is a lot you can do with gelatin that doesn't involve sweeteners or artificial ingredients.

Why do you have to even ask if eating products made from humans is cannibalism?

[theenclave]

The gelatin in jello from boil bones skin and fat, so I can see it being that sharp

[byrons]

I should have never watched this. Now I'm not sure which animals I've been consuming all this time. I have a strict religious diet.
