What's in Gelatin?
Did you know that most commercial gelatin's are made from the hide and skins of horses, cows and pigs.
Not only does the processing of these animal bi- products create a negative impact on the environment but most people do not know that commercial gelatins have these animal bi- products. There is an alternative solution, plant base gelatin.
Common used gelatin is a mixture of peptides and proteins produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, boiled crushed horn, hoof and bones, connective tissues, organs and some intestines of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, pigs, and horses. Food-grade gelatin is produced mainly from two raw materials, beef skin and pig hide. It is found in most gummy candies as well as other products such as marshmallows, gelatin dessert, and some ice cream, dip and yogurt. Household gelatin comes in the form of sheets.
There is a Natural and Vegan replacement of commercial gelatins such as “Jello” called Cool Cups that can be found in many health food stores such as Whole Foods Markets. Cool Cups has developed a healthy natural alternative to gelatin based snacks, made without artificial flavoring, food coloring, GMO, gluten or any animal bi-products. Most gelatins typically are made with artificial ingredients and colors, and often contain a very wide range of animal products and by-products. Cool Cups products are 100% natural and vegan using sustainable Carrageenan as the natural gelling agent made entirely from seaweed harvested from the ocean.
Impact on the Environment
The worldwide production amount of gelatin is about 300,000 tons per year (roughly 600 million lb). Nationwide, 130 times more animal waste is produced than human waste -- five tons of it per person -- making individual livestock operations the waste equivalent of a major city. A 50,000-acre swine operation, for example, in southwest Utah -- which has been designed to produce 2.5 million hogs each year -- has a potential waste output greater than the entire city of Los Angeles.
Plant Base Gelatin Alternatives:
Cool Cups, a Vegan Company from Santa Monica CA. specializes in manufacturing plant base gelatin snacks made from sustainable seaweed. Cool Cups, who is the number one selling Natural Gelatin Free Desserts in America; is proud to be part of the “better for you” snacks.
