About Pectin
Pectin is a natural carbohydrate found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables, particularly in citrus fruits, apples, and berries. Known for its gelling properties, pectin is commonly used as a thickening agent in jams, jellies, and sauces, making it a staple in many traditional and modern cuisines around the world. Its origin lies in plant-based sources, allowing it to be a versatile ingredient for vegetarian and vegan diets. Pectin is high in soluble fiber, which can support digestive health, lower cholesterol levels, and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Additionally, it’s low in calories and free from fat, making it a heart-healthy choice. Though naturally occurring, commercially produced pectin may sometimes contain additives. It’s generally considered safe, but excessive consumption can cause minor digestive discomfort.
