Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Another thing that has gelatin, is the frosted wheat biscuit cereal. The plain wheat biscuit cereal is ok to eat. You really have to read your labels. They are putting gelatin in more and more things. Stoneyfield Yogurt is gelatin free and so good. The Breyers fruit on the bottom yogurt, Dannon vanilla and plain(large container) and Yocrunch is also gelatin free. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I use Kosher Marshmallows for " rice treats " and candied yams since most of my family keeps Kosher. You do need to add 1/4 cup Karo light syrup and 1/8 cup (give or take) corn starch) but it will work. You can keep Kosher and still make " most " treats you just have to add more or less to balance the recipe. For example I also make a Matzo Kugle with Soyriso as a savory dish since many of may extended family are Kosher and veg it is spicy/tasty and always a hit. You would also be pleased to know " Matzobrie " can be made with ultra soft tofu and soaked matzo then scrambled after baking (350 for 20 minutes) to no lax in taste as long as you add the savory or sweet your family prefers. I have made Tofu Matzo Brie for years and no one is any the wiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Kosher doesn't mean vegetarian. Kosher gelatin is still gelatin from animals. Is kosher gelatin vegetarian? Kosher gelatin can be made with fish bones, and/or beef or pork skins contrary to assumptions of being vegetarian. http://www.vegetarianvitamin.com/vegetarian.php Judy - Re: Gelatin I use Kosher Marshmallows for " rice treats " and candied yams since most of my family keeps Kosher.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 The ones I use (Paskesz)are made with Vegetable Gelatin that is why you need the extra syrup and corn starch. If you find Kosher that is " Parve " it is neutral so it cannot contain an ingredients derived from animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I knew kosher didn't mean vegetarian just like halal. However, I'm surprised if it contains pork. I thought kosher implies that Jewish people can eat it. , " wwjd " <jtwigg wrote: > > Kosher doesn't mean vegetarian.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Parve does not necessarily mean no animal products. According to wikipedia, a number of Conservative and Orthodox rabbis, including the former Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel " have argued that gelatin has undergone such total chemical change and processing that it shouldn't count as meat, and therefore would be kosher; technically, Gelatin is just produced by separating the three strands in each collagen fibre's triple helix, an action performed simply by boiling collagen in water. " This applies even if the original source of the collagen is animal tissue. And it is considered Parve. Another site, http://www.ivu.org/faq/gelatine.html, says that some Kosher gelatins are made from Agar-Agar (and therefore veg-safe), but that most are not. Also, " OU pareve certified ingredients can have animal products, such as fish, eggs, and gelatin, in them. " 'Kosher Gelatin Marshmallows: Glatt Kosher and 'OU-Pareve', " an article that appeared in Kashrus Magazine, explains the distinctions. A quote from the article is as follows: " ...since the gelatin product is from hides or bones - not real flesh - and has undergone such significant changes, it is no longer considered 'fleishig' (meat) but 'pareve', and can be eaten with dairy products.' " And according to Paskesz in Sept. 2008, " PASKESZ MARSHMALLOWS and GUMMIES are made with fish gelatin, NOT PORK, we sell these items to HALAL customers all over the country. " As cited at http:// lactoveg.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/cicis-pizza-and-an-update-on-paskesz/ I gather finding a truly veg-safe marshmallow is like finding the Holy Grail. Sigh. Every so often I miss marshmallows, but so far not enough to even buy fluff, so maybe I don't miss it as much as I think... -ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Rice Krispy treats made with fluff are pretty darn good! That's the only use I ever had for marshmallows. Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Try a delicious smoothie made with bananas, strawberries and soy milk. (I sometimes add a spoon of organic chunky peanut butter at the end for a kick.) Also check out the raw food section at Whole Foods for some non-dairy chocolate type snacks. -Terryhttp://rawvegandiet.wordpress.comOn Sat, Apr 11, 2009 at 4:29 PM, <jkconte wrote: Stupid question....I am a new vegan.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 In the UK most of the easily available gum sweets have gelatine in. There are various vegan websites where you can purchase vegan gum sweets. I bought some vegan bears for my daughter, and she said they were good.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hey there Im a veggie striving to be a vegan My best advice is to ALWAYS read the label on each and every thing to buy, be it breads, can of soup to candy and detergents, etc. Learn what the labeling means. You'll learn they use " secret " words that means egg and milk products. Like in Gum, there is this " word " with a PH like phylalline or something, which is milk products.. Im sure they do this with many products now, using " secret " words, words that dont sound like milk but have it in it. Good luck!
