What is gelatine? Unflavored gelatine is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Knox Gelatine is a granulated protein substance derived from the long bones of cattle. It is pure protein consisting of 17 amino acids ... among them 7 out of the 8 essential to good diet. (Commercially flavored gelatines, on the other hand, consist of ⅞ sugar and flavorings and only ⅛ gelatine.) Unflavored gelatine takes on the flavors and colors you choose, when combined in dishes to your taste. For extra style in a dish, gel it!
