To appreciate the versatility of Jello, it’s important to understand its history and the reasons behind its widespread popularity. Jello was first introduced in 1897 by a company called Jell-O, which marketed it as a quick and easy dessert that could be prepared at home. The product quickly gained traction, especially after the company began to mass-produce the gelatin powder in convenient packages. As a result, Jello became synonymous with gelatin desserts in America, and over the years, it has been embraced in various culinary forms.
