Yes, Gelatin can be made from plants and if it's made from kosher animals it's also kosher. The reason it has a stigma of no Jew will go near it is because it's usually made from pig or a kosher animal that did not get properly slaughtered rendering not-Kosher. It should also be noted that some Rabbi's do consider it any Gelatin kosher for the following reason

According to Jewish law when a product has become "bone dry" it loses it's status as food and can be eaten by a Jew. This is an integral part of making the gelatine however many rabbi's say once it becomes moist it's former status returns while a few say it reatains it permitted status____________---

The above answer does not correctly answer the question asked.

There are kosher certified gelatins, they are made from either fish bones or seaweed. And contrary to what the above answer claims, there's no stigma about purchasing kosher gelatin.

  1. Gelatin is a protein product extracted from cartilage, etc., an animal product. It is a mixture of very long molecules.
  2. Glycerine is obtained by stripping the fatty acid molecules from fats, which can come from either plants or animals. It is a very small molecule and not a mixture.

So no, they are entirely different.

No. Gelatin is a protein derived from collagen, a natural protein present in the tendons, ligaments, and tissues of mammals that have been boiled in water. Jell-O is actually a flavored gelatin.
Glycerin has many uses In food and beverages, glycerol serves as a humectant, solvent, and sweetener, and may help preserve foods. It has been used in making nitroglycerine and even as a antifreeze.

Yes. There are some kinds of kosher gelatin, but you should look for the hechsher (kosher symbol) to be sure that it is either beef gelatin or vegetarian gelatin.
