Product Description
Seelect Tea' Pectin is a high-quality pure citrus pectin. Specifically it is a Rapid Set, High Methoxy Pectin made from citrus instead of apples. Seelect Tea' Pectin is Vegan, Kosher, Gluten Free, and it is an excellent source of dietary fiber. It contains none of the following sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, eggs, shellfish, colors, flavors, nor any preservatives Seelect Tea' Pectin can be used either as a manufacturing/baking ingredient or as a daily supplement of dietary fiber.
Seelect Tea' Pectin is a water soluble natural fiber that is non-digestible. It is found in the peel and rind of many citrus fruits and is widely known for its health benefits to the stomach. Because Pectin can be extracted from many different citrus fruits, Seelect Tea has standardized Pectin so that every time you buy pectin it will be the same. Like many fibers it cleanses the colon, strengthens intestinal walls, and cleans out your insides by helping to remove waste and toxins, as well as control stool and diarrhea.
Seelect Tea' Pectin helps to lower cholesterol by binding with and removing bilious acids and fats before they are absorbed into the body. There has been some indication that Citrus Pectin may be beneficial to the treatment of diabetes because it slows the absorption of food, and therefore sugar, after meals. This may also lead to lasting feelings of lasting fullness, which in term may help with weight loss.
There has been some research indicating that Citrus Pectin may actually reduce the risk of heart disease, because it does not affect “good” cholesterol, while at the same time it lowers “bad” cholesterol, the type that clogs arteries. Basically it helps reduce the risk of clotting, and makes having a stroke, and heart disease, less likely. In addition Pectin can sometimes clean unwanted heavy metals from the body. There are currently studies being done on the benefits of citrus pectin on cancer. Glucarates, which are abundant in Pectin, are being studied for their use in fighting and preventing breast cancer; and to lower the effects of PMS symptoms
Due to the purity, and quality, of Seelect Tea' Pectin you won’t need to add calcium for it to interact with water. To activate this pectin and turn it into a gel you will need to heat it to about 165 degrees. Seelect Tea' Pectin is an excellent pectin for making home made jams and jellies. When making fruit jams and jellies always premix the dry sugar with the pectin before adding to the water and fruit juice. When making fruit jams and jellies that are high in acid such as citrus marmalade's it may be necessary to add a small amount of baking soda to adjust the ph so the pectin can set. The best range for a pectin based preserve is between 3.0 and 3.5 however most citrus juices are around 2.5 to 2.9 which are to low. It is best if you have a ph meter to check the ph they can be purchased at any lab supply or restaurant supply store. If you don’t have one than experiment adding a quarter teaspoon to a quart sized batch and keep track of your results. Seelect Tea' Citrus Pectin is also as wonderful when used to make confectionery, bakery jellies, jams, preserves, yogurt, ice creams, and beverages to provide mouth feel.
Pectin is generally recognized as safe, or GRAS. In general Pectin is a white to light brown powder used as a thickening and gelling agent, particularly in jams and jellies. It can be used in fillings, sweets, and as a stabilizer in fruit juices and milk drinks. It is an excellent source of dietary fiber. Conventional high sugar jams depend on pectin to set, and also require a minimum sugar content. Pectin's can also stop the milk protein in yogurt from curdling with heat, so heat treated (UHT) long life yoghurt drinks can be made.
There are several different categories o f Pectin- Fast Set High Methoxy Pectin, Slow Set High Methoxy Pectin, Fast Set, Low Methoxy Pectin, and Slow Set, Low Methoxy Pectin. Seelect Tea' Citrus Pectin is a Fast Set and High Methoxy Pectin.
Ingredients: Pectin (Citrus Based)
Suggested Usage: Typical levels of pectin used as a food additive are between ½% and 1%, which is about how much is in a fresh fruit. As a dietary supplement, take 1 heaping teaspoon (or 5 grams) 3 times daily with warm water, juice, or as directed by your health care practitioner. We recommend taking it with orange juice to mask pectin’s taste. Drink plenty of purified water.
