Nutrition. Gelatin contains proteins and antioxidants, which help protect the cells in the body, that can support the health of the digestive system, bones, skin, joints, and more. It’s also an excellent source of Calcium. According to Harvard Health Publishing, dietary collagen consumption is often thought to: Is unflavored gelatin the same as collagen?

Collagen is the protein found in animals (mainly mammals) and in humans. Native collagen is insoluble. Gelatin – generally extracted from the bones and skins of beef, pigs, or fish – is a form of collagen that we use in our foods. Gelatin comes from collagen. When you heat collagen, it turns into gelatin. In other words, all gelatin has collagen but not all collagen contains gelatin. Collagen is a protein that’s found in all (human and animal) connective tissue, skin, and bones. It is also the most abundant protein in the human body. Gelatin is a mixture of amino acid chains that form when collagen is heated or treated with certain chemicals. This treatment causes some chemical bonds within collagen to break.

So even though gelatin is technically a form of collagen, the chemical composition of these two proteins makes them each act very differently. Notably, the gelatin will — you guessed it — gel when cooled.

Yes, pure maple syrup is not only high in antioxidants, but every spoonful offers nutrients like riboflavin, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. According to Helen Thomas of the New York State Maple Association, maple syrup has a higher concentration of minerals and antioxidants, yet fewer calories than honey.

Maple syrup has the same antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties as green tea, which is also a superfood. Maple syrup offers health benefits, just like blueberries, red wine, and tea. I did some research on Maple syrup vs Honey.

Honey has a higher glycemic index. It is richer in vitamin C, vitamins B3, B5, and B6, whereas maple syrup is higher in vitamins B1 and B2. Honey has higher levels of iron, copper, and phosphorus, but maple syrup contains more calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. Honey is lower in sodium.

Coconut milk and coconut cream are two of the many edible products made from the fruit of the Cocos nucifera plant. Both are made from coconut meat but coconut cream is thicker and more concentrated than coconut milk. Coconut cream is also an excellent source of potassium. Studies show that potassium is critical for maintaining the health of every cell in your, Coconut milk and cream are sources of healthy fats called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Several studies have found that consuming MCTs promotes weight loss by decreasing appetite and increasing energy. Nutrition

Although coconut milk and cream are similar, they are two separate products with different nutrition. Coconut cream contains significantly higher amounts of carbohydrates and sugar compared to coconut milk. According to WebMed.com

Is dehydrated coconut good for you? Yes, it is,

Desiccated coconut is an ideal source of healthy fat that contains no cholesterol and contains selenium, fiber, copper, and manganese. One ounce of desiccated coconut contains 80% healthy, saturated fat. Selenium is a mineral that helps the body produce enzymes, which enhance the immune system and thyroid function.
