About Pectin, unsweetened, dry mix

Pectin is a natural, soluble fiber found in the cell walls of plants, most abundantly in the peels and cores of apples and in citrus rinds. It is best known as the gelling agent that makes jams, jellies, and preserves set, forming a thick gel when cooked with sugar and acid. Sold as liquid or powder, and in regular and low-sugar forms, it lets home and commercial cooks turn fruit into spreadable preserves reliably, and it also thickens fillings, glazes, and confections like gummies and fruit pastes.

As a dietary fiber, pectin passes through the gut largely undigested and may help support healthy digestion and cholesterol levels. High-pectin fruits can set on their own, while low-pectin ones need a boost. When making jam, balance the pectin with the right amount of sugar and lemon juice for a clean set, and store powdered pectin sealed in a cool, dry place, where it keeps its strength for a long time.
