The porcine gelatin comes from pigs which are responsibly-farmed, but are eating a varied diet which may not be 100% what they would naturally eat if they were undomesticated. And that’s because collagen hydrolysate is heated to a higher temperature and enzymatically treated to reduce the molecular weight, thus limiting its ability to congeal, or gel. In the green canister, is a special type of gelatin powder—collagen hydrolysate. It is quite different from the regular gelatin in the red canister, because it does not cause liquids to gel.

The Great Lakes brand says “Kosher” but has no Kosher or Halal certification. Therefore, no observant Jew or Muslim will use it. This is typically something that would not happen right away, but could drive a undermethylator's methionine deficiency over time (years).

I don't generally keep any juice in the house other than pineapple. And that's only for my gluten free Hawaiian Rolls since they're some of the best burger buns around, and my gluten free pineapple upside down cake. I make that at least a couple of times a year. I hope this little guide will help to answer that for you, so you can make a decision and be on your way to incorporating lots more gelatin goodness into your daily diet! Nix the Knox When the 15 minutes are up, pour the hot sugar and gelatin mixture into the bowl of your stand mixer. Attach the whisk and whip at a medium speed (4 or 6 on a KitchenAid mixer) for two minutes. Use caution as the mixture is extremely hot and and will be steaming when you start whipping it. If you have a juicer you can use fresh juice in this recipe. You can also add a little maple syrup, stevia, or honey to sweeten if desired. Personally, I find it sweet enough with just the juice.

You’ve probably heard me sing the praises of grass-fed gelatin and collagen by now. Their health benefits include stronger nails, healthier hair, and improved gut health. While they’re similar in how they work in the body, there is a difference when it comes to making homemade healthy jello. Another thing to look out for is depression and anxiety that could hypothetically result from not eating enough animal protein to balance the amino acid profile of collagen, depleting tryptophan (the precursor to serotonin). One last important thoughtThe good news is that you most certainly can make homemade “JELLO” gelatin with fruit purees. The bad news? You must mix the puree with at least as much actual fruit juice or the “JELLO” simply won't set up. Yours is obviously more ideal and I’m so excited to start taking it! And giving it to my family too! So eventually!… 😁 Or, consume 1 tablespoon in your morning and evening meal to boost overall joint/digestion health. As an added bonus, this will help suppress your appetite, since it’s very filling. While the liquid is heating up, you’ll need to bloom the gelatin. To do this, in a small bowl, will mix one tablespoon of gelatin (or agar agar) with 1/4 cup of orange juice. But when you're adding whole fruit to the gelatin, avoid chunks of pineapple, kiwi, mango, papaya or mango. When it's fresh, those types of fruit can make it difficult for the gelatin to set up properly. ( Here's why.)

What’s not so fun is the conventional jello on the marketplace. Filled with sugar, artificial flavoring and dyes, not to mention their gelatin comes from animals that are fed improper diets and given hormones. No thanks! But this wasn’t always the case… in fact, muscle meat used to be thrown to the dogs, while humans kept the more sacred parts of the animal.How pretty are these pineapple and blueberry “JELLO” flavors? No additives, no chemicals, no food dyes. Just food, glorious food. You’re also gonna need some tasty fruit juice! Grape, orange, and cherry are all lovely flavors for jello. You can mix and match as you see fit or with what’s in season. (NOTE: Do not use raw pineapple juice as the enzymes in the fruit will prevent the Jello from setting.)
