Jell Dessert Pineapple
by Stitch Golf
A relatively simple gelatin-style dessert with minimal ingredients, but relies on sugar as the primary sweetener and contains carrageenan which may cause gut irritation. Better than ultra-processed desserts but still a sugary treat.
- Filtered Water – safe · Clean water base that provides hydration and serves as the primary liquid component for the gel.
- Sugar – controversial · Regular cane or beet sugar that provides sweetness but contributes to blood sugar spikes and metabolic stress when consumed regularly.
- Carrageenan – controversial · Seaweed-derived gelling agent that may trigger gut inflammation and digestive issues in sensitive individuals.
- Tri Potassium Citrate – safe · Potassium salt that acts as a pH buffer and stabilizer, generally recognized as safe with no significant health concerns.
- Citric Acid – safe · Natural acid that enhances tartness and acts as a mild preservative, commonly found in citrus fruits.
- Natural Flavors – safe · Pineapple flavoring derived from natural sources, though specific components are proprietary and not disclosed.
- B-Carotene – beneficial · Natural orange pigment and vitamin A precursor that provides color while offering antioxidant benefits.
