How is
Gelatin Made?
Gelatin is (and always has been) a
highly nourishing food, as well as a very
eco-friendly one. When all the more
desirable parts of an animal have been
removed, the skin, bones and tendons
are left. These are used to make gelatin
and collagen.
Grandmothers did this in their kitchen
by using the whole animal for multiple
purposes, such as making broth.
Bone broth is often used to help clear
up food allergies or intolerances,
digestive issues, leaky gut syndrome,
autoimmune disorders, and more.
The reason gelatin used in food
preparation and as the basis of many
jellies, desserts and candies is because
it acts like a sticky adhesive, similar to
a natural glue. The gelatinous quality of
gelatin is actually one of the things that
makes it beneficial when we consume
it, because this is what allows gelatin to
help form strong cartilage or connective
tissue that gives parts of our bodies
elasticity.
Gelatin provides amino acids like
glycine that strengthen the gut lining
and therefore lower inflammation.
Glycine is used by doctors to help
improve digestive, joint, cardiovascular,
cognitive and skin health.
