Candy Corn Gelatin Jars
These candy corn jars are just as tasty as they are cute! Gelatin is one of my favorite treats. Gelatin is 98–99% protein and abundant in amino acids. It is one of the richest food sources of the amino acid glycine. Glycine is used by your body to create proteins, needed for the growth and maintenance of tissue and for making important substances such as hormones and enzymes. Glycine even helps us sleep and reduce inflammation. Studies show that your body can make it, but most people won't make enough to cover their needs. This is a delicious way to get more of this powerful protein.
