The texture of gelatin is light and its pleasant flavor makes it a unique ingredient to surprise with novel dishes of exquisite presentation. It is pure protein and contains no fats or cholesterol, making gelatin a healthy, natural food suitable for the whole family. In addition to its health benefits, its culinary possibilities extend not only to desserts but also as an infallible "trick" for making terrines, creams, sauces, and very eye-catching dishes, full of color, perfect for a special dinner. You can find gelatin in various forms. The most common are packets of different flavors that are very easy to prepare: strawberry, orange, pineapple, raspberry, lemon. Simply by adding water (according to the measurements indicated by the manufacturer) to the gelatin powder and refrigerating for the specified time (at least two hours), you will have a colorful dessert that will especially delight the little ones. Get creative and pair it with, for example, ice cream, fruit pieces, condensed milk, caramel, etc. Fun fact: Gelatin is a complex protein, meaning it is a polymer composed of amino acids. As with polysaccharides, the degree of polymerization, the nature of the monomers, and the sequence in the protein chain determine its general properties. A notable property of solutions of this molecule is its behavior at different temperatures: they are liquid in hot water and solidify in cold water.
