Jell-O

Jell-O is a popular gelatin dessert made from gelatin, sweeteners, and flavorings. Gelatin is a protein derived from animal collagen that, when dissolved in hot water and cooled, forms a semi-solid, wobbly texture. Jell-O is typically flavored and colored, making it appealing and fun to eat. It's commonly used as a dessert or in layered and fruit-embedded dishes. The process involves dissolving the gelatin in hot liquid, adding flavorings, then chilling it until it solidifies into a firm, yet tender, shape. Its unique texture and versatility make it a favorite at many gatherings.
