Gelatin is a purely natural product
Gelatin is obtained from collagen-containing, animal raw materials. In order to meet kosher and Halal requirements, we also produce varieties made from 100% bovine. With gelatin, liquids can be thickened, gelled, and converted into a solid mass. Because it is completely odorless and neutrally flavored, it has unlimited uses for desserts as well as savory dishes. Food gelatin is supplied in milled form, as gelatin powder, or in leaves, as leaf gelatin. The latter is particularly versatile and practical in its uses.
Leaf gelatin is a special form of edible gelatin. It is produced by first creating a thin film from liquid gelatin solution, which is then carefully dried and cut into rectangular sheets. These are particularly easy to portion. No weighing or measuring is required. You only need to count out the required number of sheets. As a rule of thumb: For 500 ml liquid you need 6 leaves of gelatin.
Healthy and indispensable
Leaf gelatin consists of 84 – 90 % pure protein. The rest is mineral salts and water. It contains neither fat, carbohydrates nor cholesterol or any preservatives or additives. Leaf gelatin is gluten free and allergen free.
