Do vegans eat jelly?
Answers:
I'm a vegan and I eat jelly! Jelly isn't the same as gelatin. Jelly is simply smashed grapes with sugar added while gelatin is boiled cow tendons (ewww who wants to eat that!?!) So yea vegans can eat jelly...vegans can't eat gelatin!
ewww did u ever realize that gelatin is just flavored boiled cow tendons?!?!

Think about it. IF there is no animal product in the item, YES, it is possible.
If gelatin is added, no. Gelatin is an animal product.
yes it is not a dairy product, you will be fine if you eat jelly, don't worry
it depends, if the jelly has geletin or lard, then NO.
if the jelly doesnt than YES.
Home-made jelly is made with just fruit and sugar, so is vegan. Gelatin is made with meat by-products , so if it is used it would not be vegan. Check the labels.
Yes but Jam would be better.
jelly is made from gelatin and gelatin is an animal by product
you mean like preserves? yes. if u mean jello, there are vegan jellos, but regular jello contains gelatin.
Quite correct, gelatin in most aspect in the US and Canada is an animal by-product, BUT, there are vegan and veggie based gelatins or products, I use a seaweed based gel made from Agar, it is available in Asian stores, and label as Agar or Agar-Agar.
Also Kosher gelatin is vegetable based, so if you have a Kosher market or the local grocery store thatsstocks a line of Kosher foods, the brand name is "Streits", and comes in fruit flavours like the other brand, a bit more expensive, but NO animal products in it.
wwhheew...^^^^^^^(im starting to think these vegans are a little fruity)^^^^^(but then if if they dont eat jelly)^^^^^(?)^^^
excuse my cavedude friend please...I took him to the mid-nite movie "ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES" and he has not been right sense...^^^^^
By definition Jelly can contain gelatin ... Jelly : jel・ly(jl)
n. pl. jel・lies
1. A soft, semisolid food substance with a resilient consistency, made by the setting of a liquid containing pectin or gelatin or by the addition of gelatin to a liquid, especially such a substance made of fruit juice containing pectin boiled with sugar......... so you would simply have to read the label to determine if it contained gelatin or any other animal ingredient or by product .. Jam by definition does not contain gelatin , but it is always advisable to read all ..
Depends on what the jelly is made from. In N. America where the animal industry is huge there are lots of byproducts. In other places in the world they just use fruit pectin, or agar, or konyaku (Japan), or acorn powder (Korea), or whatever. Basically some kind of coagulant which is usually some kind of starch. There are probably 100s of different things that jelly can be made from.
most jelly that is not home made has gelatin in it ( a product used to thicken some foods made out of cow/pig/horse bones or hooves)
if it does have gelatin in it it should say so in the ingredients
Traditionally 'Jelly' was made with gelatine, which is made from animal bones and ligaments. (as are many glues).
Eastern cooks have used a seaweed called Agar for centuries to thicken foods.
Following the CJD (mad cow) scare here in the UK manufactures moved from gelatine to agar and so now most ready made jellies in the UK are vegetarian. You can also by agar based jelly mixes in health food shops.
