Gelatins are a form of collagen which is completely natural and entirely protein - 100% fat free. It provides all 8 of the essential amino acids required by your body to repair itself and grow.
It belongs to the family of hydrocolloids, such as guar gum and xanthan gum which are plant or sugar-derived. When added to food, Gelatin and other hydrocolloids make it thicker. Depending on how much is added, a jelly/jello can be formed too.
There are several ways of getting gelatin, the most common is from treating pig skin with acid, but you can also get gelatin from pig bones. For kosher and halal gelatin, cow hide and bones can be treated with alkali, or fish and chicken skin and bones can undergo the same processes.
You don't have to boil up the cow yourself, though - you can usually buy it in supermarkets!
Weight watcher jelly is vegetarian. Another option is to buy vege gel which is available in most supermarkets and follow the instructions on the back to simply make your own. The advantage to this is you can use diluting juice or fresh berries to make your own.

Agar is made from seaweed. You can get it in a Japanese store (sometimes called kanten), or a health food store.
You can buy cooking gelatin in most grocery stores, especially larger stores.

Not all vegetarians eat gelatine, but as an ovo-lacto vegetarian, I find no problem with its taste or texture.
Neither beef nor gelatine is vegetarian.
A vegetarian.
Vegetarian substitute for gelatine is Pectin. Pectin is made from fruits.
I buy Davis Gelatine where there there is written "This Gelatine is purely extracted from Halal slaughtered beef." Therefore, it's HALAL.
There is another lesser used substance - but the most common substance needed is gelatine. By adding that to water at a certain temperature makes Jelly. Gelatine is an animal based product, there is a vegetarian alternative.
Safeway in Bairnsdale has some
not ALL things i am a vegetarian myself and some things are okay. Health shops sell 'free of gelatine' gummy bears and i can eat jelly tots. Im not such a big fan of jelly sweets so i dont know which sweets are free of gelatine, but what i do know is that some haribo packets have no gelatine!
the strawbs are, and there are veggie haribos, but not the standard starmix. look for an ingredient called gelatine when you're looking for veggie sweets, geletine isnt vegetarian. also look for carmine, sometimes E120, as that's not veggie either. nor is parmesan cheese.
A true vegetarian won't take medication or supplements that come in gelatine capsules or contain any other ingredient that can only be obtained from a dead animal.
Any good supermarket. Tesco sell them. Gelatine leaves can easily be substituted weight-for-weight with gelatine powder, which is sometimes easier to find.
