Gelatin (also gelatine) is a translucent brittle solid substance, colorless or slightly yellow, nearly tasteless and odorless, which is created by prolonged boiling of animal skin, connective tissue or bones. It has many uses in food, medicine, and manufacturing. Substances that contain or resemble gelatin are called gelatinous.

Jello is the brand name of a group of fruit and gelatin desert products. It's jelling agent is an animal protein derived from bone and other animal parts. Because of its origin, it would not be kosher nor would it be consumed by a vegetarian knowingly. Other ingredients with jelling properties are readily available including some ancient Asian root products (konnyaku), a sea weed derived product (agar agar) and several others.
