Is Gelatin Pescatarian?

Avoid

No. Gelatin comes from the skin, cartilage, and bones of animals.

Gelatin and the Pescatarian Diet

Gelatin is a translucent, colorless, and flavorless substance commonly derived from collagen obtained from various animal body parts. It is widely used in the food industry as a gelling agent in products like jellies, desserts, marshmallows, and gummy candies. Gelatin is valued for its ability to form a gel-like texture when dissolved in hot water and cooled, making it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes.
