Texture Quality

'Gelatinous' is often used to describe certain types of food textures, not just jelly.

Food Context

Cooking Process

Natural Occurrence

'Gelatinous' can refer to something clear and shimmering, not just the feel of it.

Visual Clarity

'Gelatinous' may describe things that look oddly transparent and squishy, often in biology.
