Is gelatin really made of.......?

Question

Animal hides and animal bones?

My friend told me that at lunch today, and then she showed it to me in a book of hers.

So is it really made of butts and bones?

Answer 1

Disgusting

Answer 2

It's made of the boiled bones and connective tissue of dead animals.

Answer 3

Mostly bone. Not so much hides.

Answer 4

Unless you buy kosher gelatin it is made from bones & connective tissue of animals.

Answer 5

Yes, it it true that gelatin is a protein produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the bones, connective tissues, organs, and some intestines of animals such as the domesticated cattle, and horses. The natural molecular bonds between individual collagen strands are broken down into a form that rearranges more easily.

Answer 6

i think it used to be, now its mainly made from plants which have bio gelatin rather than animal type.

Answer 7

yeah  

Answer 8

It's made out of bone marrow...marrow is inside of the bones.

I guess it's made different these days, check out the link for in depth info on gelatin.
