Gelatins

/ˈdʒɛlətnz/ noun

Definition

Plural of gelatin; multiple instances or types of gelatin, the protein derived from collagen.

Kelly Says

Different gelatins have wildly different properties—fish gelatin sets faster than beef gelatin, and vegan gelatin alternatives use completely different molecules (like agar from seaweed), revolutionizing cooking for people with dietary restrictions.
