Vegan Gelatin

Vegan gelatin, often called plant-based gelling agents, is a substitute for traditional animal-derived gelatin. It’s made from ingredients like agar-agar (derived from seaweed), pectin (from fruit), or carrageenan (from red algae). These substances can thicken, set, and provide the gel-like texture in foods such as desserts, gummies, and jellies, without using animal products. Vegan gelatin is suitable for those following plant-based diets or avoiding animal-derived ingredients, offering similar functional properties to traditional gelatin while being environmentally friendly and cruelty-free.
