Lemon gelatin crystals

Lemon gelatin crystals are small dehydrated granules used as a base for preparing lemon-flavored gelatin. This ingredient is very popular in baking and the preparation of fruit desserts, as it provides a firm, light, and refreshing texture, ideal for mousses, gelatin desserts, and tarts.

The origin of gelatin dates back to medieval Europe, where it was extracted from the collagen of animal bones and skins. The gelatin crystals found on the market today are an industrialized product, easily soluble in hot liquids and with added flavors, such as lemon in this case, to enhance the taste of preparations.

Among its properties, gelatin is a natural source of collagen that helps provide structure to foods without adding fats or sugars. Additionally, it is low in calories and easily digestible, making it an ally for light and refreshing preparations.

In different regions of Latin America, lemon gelatin crystals may also be known as lemon-flavored gelatin powder, lemon-flavored gelatin powder, or simply lemon-flavored gelatin.
