So, what is apple pectin?

Apple pectin is a soluble fiber found in the cell walls of apples. It is a type of complex carbohydrate that is not digested in the small intestine and instead ferments in the large intestine, providing beneficial effects to gut health. Apple pectin is commonly used as a gelling agent in the production of jams, jellies, and other food products. It can also be found in dietary supplements due to its potential to promote satiety, improve digestion, and lower cholesterol levels. As an all-natural ingredient, apple pectin is a popular choice for those seeking a healthy and versatile addition to their diet.
