Product Description
When making jam, our grandparents used to stand for hours by the boiling pot, waiting for it to thicken so they could fill the jars. You can save time and energy by not only using the pectin found in fruits to achieve the perfect jelly-like consistency. With Nature Cookta Special Pectin, you can make delicious, colorful gummy candies at home. Pectin occurs naturally in fruits like apples and pears, and can also be found in rose hips, carrots, and certain kinds of celery. For a better taste and consistency, our ancestors used fruits low in pectin to make jams and jellies, adding higher-pectin fruits. The amount and structure of heteropolysaccharides found in the cell walls of land plants depends on the species, age of the plant, and the part of the plant in which it is found. (Stronger parts of the plant contain more pectin.) The riper the fruit, the lower the concentration of pectin, which is why the food industry often uses apple pectin, obtained from tart apples, in addition to citrus pectin. It is widely used in making jams and jellies and serves as a fat substitute in baked goods. Its stabilizing properties have also been noticed by the cosmetics industry. Pectin can also be used to repair damaged tobacco leaves when rolling cigars. Its water-binding ability is utilized daily in the kitchen for jelly making. It is a reliable, natural stabilizer that can improve the quality and shelf life of jams, jellies, and gels. Delicious sweets can be made using pectin. We especially recommend Nature Cookta Special Pectin for making gummy candies. Mix it with sweetener and water, then simmer on low heat with constant stirring, add lemon juice and coconut milk, boil for 5-6 minutes from boiling point, let it cool for a few minutes before pouring into molds. Let it set until the jelly solidifies. Finally, remove from molds and cut into desired shapes. Using candy or ice cube molds for this treat will make it not only nutritious but also visually appealing. You can also use melted chocolate to make additive-free chocolates. This special ingredient is great for cake toppings, special desserts, and ice cream. Consuming pectin does not replace a healthy lifestyle and a varied, balanced diet.
