About GRAPE GELATIN DESSERT, GRAPE
Meijer Grape Gelatin Dessert is a dry powdered gelatin mix sold under the Meijer private label, designed to be dissolved in hot water and chilled into a jiggly, fruit-flavored dessert. Grape-flavored gelatin is a classic American dessert that has been popular in home kitchens since the late nineteenth century.
The dry mix contains sugar as the primary ingredient, followed by gelatin as the setting agent. In smaller quantities, the product contains adipic acid and fumaric acid for tartness, sodium citrate to control acidity, artificial grape flavor, salt, Red 40 and Blue 1 synthetic dyes to create the purple grape color, and dimethylpolysiloxane (PDMS) to prevent foam formation during mixing. The use of Red 40 and Blue 1 achieves the characteristic purple color associated with grape-flavored desserts. No allergens are listed in the ingredient declaration, though consumers with gelatin sensitivities should note its animal-derived nature, making this product unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Nutritionally, the dry powder provides 381 calories per 100 grams, but the prepared dessert is approximately 80 calories per serving after dilution with water. Per 21-gram dry serving, values reflect concentrated powder rather than prepared dessert. Prepared gelatin contains minimal protein from the gelatin itself and carbohydrates from sugar.
This gelatin mix is suitable for classic mold desserts, layered parfaits, kid-friendly snacks, and as an ingredient in no-bake pie fillings. The Meijer private-label price point makes it a cost-effective alternative to national brand gelatin mixes. Best prepared following package instructions for the proper ratio of hot water to cold water.
