NOW Foods, Beef Gelatin Powder, Natural Thickening Agent, Source of Protein, 1-Pound (Packaging May Vary)

Always dependable and never a noticeable beef taste. Now brand never disappoints. I occasionally use it to lend body to sauces and soups. I often use this gelatin with fruit juice and fruit, or flavored milk, or sweetened spiced nut milk, or store broth, or homemade stock or soup.1-1.5 tablespoons gelatin per cup of cold or room temp liquid. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and let it sit until the gelatin powder is fully wet. Then stir the mixture over gentle heat until the gelatin is fully dissolved. This makes a firm "jello" that can be cut into squares and picked up as finger food. I love the texture. I love having cold savory or sweet jello cubes to snack on. It seems good for my health, joints, skin, etc. But I'd eat it either way, because I love biting into that firm wiggly texture. It's akin to gummy candy texture, but a lot healthier and without the sugar overload.*Folks who are accustomed to commercial sweet fruit flavored gelatin desserts may want to add sugar to taste.You can also reduce the recommended water in a commercial gelatin dessert mix, and add extra beef gelatin to make it firmer.

I initially bought this to help me increase my protein intake. My nephew had recommended gelatin and he is marathon runner. I'm a senior but have "optimal muscle mass" according to our evolt machine and am working on maintaining that but have lost my "craving" for protein since I've aged. I looked for an inexpensive gelatin on Amazon and I trust the NOW brand supplements. I now consistently buy this brand and am on my 5th container. What I did not anticipate is that my nails have become stronger; they have quit splitting, breaking and bending. While this is not a complete protein like meat is, it does supplement the protein for the day. I also found its a great thickener for some of my recipes that just need a bit of thickening.

I keep this on hand as an easy protein boost to add to my morning oatmeal and soups. We also add this to the food we give our pups to boost the protein content of their kibble.

It's a great product. I really liked it. I'll order more. Thank you.

Arrived as expected with a fair price.

A great product for stepping up your collagen intake. Dissolve easily in beverages, and tasteless. Makes perfectly firm fruit gelatin. But I have found tiny bone fragments in every batch of gelatin that I made. I took out one star for the reason.

Best way to extend bone broth, make jellos and such. Very mild to no flavor and so economical to use. I'm forever cooking drumstick for my hubby's collegen fix and this is another way to help those knees.

Works as it should and is a good value.
