At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
Gelatine is obtained from collagen, which is an animal source product.
Gelatine is a high source of natural protein. It is widely used in the cosmetic industry due to its effect on skin and hair growth.
This food product was discovered in 1682. Not only is it a good protein source but also is a stack of every type of amino acid which is considered mandatory for the proper functioning of our body. The presence of collagen hydrolysate helps in removing or reducing wrinkles to great extent and ensures better growth of hair as well. Gelatine is also used as a gelling agent and is widely used in the kitchen for giving better texture to certain food items. Gelatine or gelatin both refer to the same substance and are pretty effective in helping joint pain. The collagen present in gelatin provides cushion-like tissues that not only help in reducing joint pain but also betters bone health in a person. Apart from its uses in the kitchen and in medicines, gelatine was also greatly used in some technical fields, and in some cases, it is still in use such as in photographic films because we are yet to find a substitute that is cheaper than gelatin and gives a better or at least the same result. In this article, we will be sharing more such facts about gelatin that we bet you didn't know.
We all have tasted gelatin but have you ever questioned how is it made or why is it used so commonly in the kitchen? In this section, you will get answers to all of your questions and may even get to know more than that!
If you think that gelatine is only used in food and in candies, then after reading the section below, you will understand how useful gelatine actually is, even in fields such as technology and medical science.
Just like every coin has two faces, gelatine might also sometimes prove to be not healthy. A few such examples are provided below:
Gelatine rarely ever shows any side effects, although this depends on many factors such as dosage, other medications, and so on. If eaten at a healthy limit then gelatine shows many health benefits and can cure many diseases and disorders.
