Re: Re: Gelatin Sources

[Guest guest]

This doesn't seem to fit with what I have encountered with chicken broth. I

have made broth a few times with the chicken feet and it gels really nicely.

However the last time I made broth I forgot the feet and it didn't gel at all.

Maybe just coincidence, but it fits with Sally's version of the story??

I was a little confused over this statement found on Great Lakes

sight concerning gelatin sources, " Gelatin is obtained from selected

pieces of calf and cattle skins, de-mineralized cattle bones (ossein)

and porkskin. Contrary to popular belief, hoofs, horns, hair,

feathers or any keratin material is not a source of gelatin. "

Sally Fallon states in her book the hoofs and horns of animals are

good sources of gelatin. I wonder if the skins in commercial gelatin

is the source of the msg??

How many feet do you use in a broth? I found a package of frozen chicken

feet the other day, and I have plenty. I used two in my stock, and it's sat

overnight and isn't gelled (yet... sometimes it takes almost a day I think,

but usually by overnight). Unfortunately, the chicken wasn't free range this

time b/c there was a different, more expensive brand in the store I got it

at, but I was hoping the chicken feet would compensate.

Do you use two or do you use more?

Thanks,

Chris

animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of

them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense

compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to

bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature.

Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the

truth, and for those who do them wrong. "
