Unflavored gelatin is an odorless, tasteless and colorless thickening agent, which when dissolved in cold water, and heated and then cooled, forms a jelly. Certain fresh fruits contain enzymes that break down the gelatin, such as figs, pineapple, kiwi, papaya, mango, and guava. Since gelatin is derived from animal hide and bones there are problems with regards to Kosher and Halal status and many vegetarians also have objections to its use. In these cases agar agar or xanthan gum can be substituted. Size : 500 grams
