JELL-O FACTS!!!

Some jello facts!

jello is made of:
-water
-gelatin
-sugar
-food coloring

Gelatin is a processed version of a structured protein called collagen.

To make gelatin, manufacturers grind up animal bones and pre-treat them with either a strong acid or a strong base to break down cellular structures and release proteins like collagen. After pre-treatment, they boil the mixture.The large collagen protein end up being partially broken down, and the resulting product is called gelatin.

There is also a non animal part jello especially made for non animal eaters!!!
