About Gelatin desserts, dry mix, prepared with water
Gelatin dessert — the jiggly, brightly colored treat known in the United States by the brand name Jell-O — is made by dissolving a flavored mix of gelatin, sugar, coloring and flavoring in hot water, then chilling it until it sets into a soft, wobbly solid.
Prepared with water it is one of the lightest sweet treats, at about 62 calories per 100 grams with no fat and roughly 14 grams of carbohydrate, almost all of it sugar. The gelatin provides a small amount of protein but little else; it is not a meaningful source of vitamins or minerals. Sugar-free versions made with low-calorie sweeteners cut the calories to almost nothing.
Gelatin dessert is a nostalgic, easy-to-digest treat often served to children, layered in parfaits, or set with fruit. It is sometimes offered on light or post-procedure diets because it is low in calories and slips down easily, though it remains a sweetened dessert rather than a nourishing food.
