Gelatina, commonly known as gelatin, is a translucent, flavorless food derived from animal collagen, primarily sourced from bones, skin, and connective tissues. It is widely used in desserts, soups, candy, and other culinary applications across the globe, prominently featured in Latin American cuisine as vibrant, fruit-flavored molds often adorning festive tables. Gelatina is rich in protein, specifically amino acids like glycine and proline, which support skin, joint, and gut health. It is low in calories and provides a satiating effect, making it a popular ingredient for weight-conscious diets. However, it is often combined with added sugars and artificial flavorings in prepared products, which can diminish nutritional value. Suitable for certain dietary restrictions, its animal-derived origin excludes it from vegan or vegetarian diets. Gelatina is a versatile and functional food that offers both culinary enjoyment and notable health benefits when consumed in moderation and prepared thoughtfully.
