Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I think if it's " gelatin " it comes from animals, regardless. Agar, carageenan, kuzu, cornstarch are other thickeners than can be used/combined to create something similar to jello (I usually use agar). *hugs* Amy/C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
