Is jello made from bone and marrow?

Jell-O is made from gelatin, which is a protein derived from collagen. Collagen is found in animal tissues like bones, skin, and connective tissues, but it is not the bone and marrow themselves.

Here's a breakdown:

1. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and support to animal tissues.

2. Gelatin is extracted from collagen by boiling it with water.

3. Jell-O is made by dissolving gelatin in water and adding flavoring and sweeteners.

So, while Jell-O does contain collagen, it's not made from bone and marrow directly. The process of extracting collagen involves breaking down these tissues, not using them whole.
