Apple Pectin and Beet Root: What Gives a Gummy Its Chew and Color
Two ingredients sit in the other ingredients line, and each has a clear job.
Apple pectin: the chew
Apple pectin is a soluble fiber from apples. Heated with sugar and acid, it sets into a soft gel, which is how gummies get their bounce.
Beet root powder: the color
Beet root powder is dried, ground beetroot. Its natural red pigments tint the gummy without artificial dyes.
What they share
- Both come from plants.
- Both are listed in the other ingredients line.
- Both help the gummy look and feel the way it does.*
What sets them apart
- Pectin gives texture, beet root gives color.
- Pectin comes from apples, beet root from a garden root.
- Neither is part of the 525 mg blend.
