Gelatin	Gelatin is a protein derived from collagen. It’s used to thicken and solidify liquids.	It’s what gives the dessert its jiggly texture.
Fiber	Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that the body can’t digest. It helps with digestion and keeps you feeling full.	Persimmons provide a small amount of fiber, contributing to satiety.
