Why it's so good for you:

Grass-fed gelatin is a great ingredient to use for gut-loving desserts. Gelatin makes up almost one-third of all the protein in the human body, and not having enough of it affects our joints, skin and gut health. It's becoming more common to use gelatin in recipes to promote digestive health.
