Gelatin in it’s rawest form.
Basically, it consists of the ground up noses, hooves, skin, ears, lips, bones and connective tissues of cows, pigs and/or horses. It’s boiled down to make snacks, food and medicine. Jell-O, fruit snacks, yogurt and even some frozen vegetables contain gelatin. It’s pretty fucking gross.
But there are vegan versions of all of these!
- Trader Joe’s has vegan Jell-O (at least the one I go to does) and soy yogurt.
- Turtle Mountain and WholeSoy have several different flavors of vegan yogurt.
- Annie’s has yummy fruit snacks that are vegan.
These are the brands that I know and buy for myself, and they’re absolutely delicious and cruelty free!
Gelatin…it’s in so much, but what is it exactly?
