What it is

Pectin is a natural fiber found in the cell walls of fruit, especially apples and citrus peel. It is the same ingredient that sets homemade jam.

How it makes a gummy

When pectin is heated with sugar and a little acid, it forms a soft gel. That gel is what gives a gummy its pleasant chew, without animal gelatin.

On the Jellutide label

Apple pectin appears in the other-ingredients list, next to citric acid and sodium citrate, which help the gel set correctly.

Fun fact

Apple cores and peels are so rich in pectin that jam makers often boil them in a pouch to help a batch set.
