Quantity of gummies made depends on the size of the silicone molds or pyrex glass dish you use. I like to make larger, heart shaped gummies.
❓ FAQs
So, do gummies cause constipation?
Some store bought gummies may cause constipation due to the addition of certain vitamins and minerals added in. The most common ones are iron, calcium, folic acid, and vitamin D. These homemade gummies won't cause constipation because they are made with gut healthy ingredients instead. They may actually improve your constipation issues, especially due to the added pumpkin in them.
What are the Health Benefits of Gelatin?
Daily use of gelatin supports a healthy gut, strengthens hair and nails, reduces the look of wrinkles, and improve joint health.
What is the best supplement to fight inflammation?
Turmeric is one of the best supplements to help fight inflammation in the body. Turmeric is a root in the ginger family, with anti-inflammatory benefits and pain relieving benefits.
Can I use jello powder instead of gelatin?
No. They are not the same thing. Jello will not set up to a firmer gummy consistency that gelatin will.
