Unflavored Jel is our unflavored version of a jel dessert mix. It is great when you want to make a neutral-flavored jel-style dessert or customize your own flavors, but it is not designed to replace traditional gelatin in recipes.
So, if a recipe calls for unflavored gelatin, use Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative.
Yes, Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative is 100% animal-free. Traditional gelatin is made from animal collagen (cow, pig, or fish bones, skin, and connective tissue). Ours is made from a plant-based gelling blend, so anyone avoiding animal products (for vegan, vegetarian, kosher, religious, or personal reasons) can use it in any classic gelatin-style recipe with confidence.
Yes, Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative is Gluten-Free Certified. Made without wheat, barley, rye, or other gluten-containing ingredients.
Yes, Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative is Kosher Certified. Many traditional gelatin sachets are not kosher because of the animal collagen they’re made from. Because ours is plant-based, it fits a kosher diet without compromise.
Yes, Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative is Non-GMO Verified. Made with plant-based ingredients sourced and tested to meet Non-GMO Project standards.
No. Agar agar is a single-ingredient gel that needs ratio conversions for every recipe and behaves differently in different liquids. Simply Desserts Gelatin Alternative is a concentrated multi-ingredient plant-based blend. One sachet swaps 1:1 for one sachet of traditional gelatin in any classic gelatin-style recipe. We don’t publish a universal agar conversion.

That’s our Make it. Love it. Or it’s on us. promise.
