🧬 Historical Notes & Formation
Gelatin-based desserts date back to medieval Europe, where they were initially considered a dish for royalty. Back then, gelatin was extracted painstakingly from animal bones. It wasn’t until the 1840s, when a man named Peter Cooper patented powdered gelatin, that things became easier.
Later, in the early 1900s, Jell-O turned gelatin into an American household staple.
Today, we’ve taken it a step further — combining zero-calorie sweeteners, natural flavors, and gelatin into a quick fix for modern health-conscious lovers.
