Not a coffee drinker, but I put a tablespoonful in my first cup of morning tea. I also add it to things like meatloaf or meatballs - sprinkle it over the meat mixture, and mix it in. It rehydrated in the meat/onion juices, and, theoretically, keeps things moist. Adds no flavor or texture, disappearing into the final product. A spoonful gets added to soups and sauces when I remember. I take it for joint health, though can't say if it has made any difference. I did realize not long ago that my fingernails are much stronger now than they used to be. Never been fond of Jello, so don't make things like that. Though, years ago, I used to make a gelled gazpacho - lots of chopped veggies in a gelled tomato juice base. Might try that again when (if!) the weather ever warms up again. LOL
