Is this different from apple pectin? i use apple pectin in capsules for fiber, but this looks cheaper. Looks like it's good for fiber

NOW used to make Apple Pectin, but I stopped being able to find it. I decided to try the Apple Fiber and quite honestly I get the same results. There is probably some technical difference, but I believe it is very similar. Maybe they just had it labeled incorrectly to begin with and someone made them change it. I always wished I still had the apple pectin bag when I first got the apple fiber to see if the ingredients were really different.

I googled the question but didn't really get an answer. It said the Apple Fiber is only 10% pectin but it is a great fiber. You are supposed to mix it in water and drink it fast because it thickens up fairly quickly but I don't like how it leaves a grit in your throat so I dunk a banana in it or mix a little in my oatmeal. It has an dried apple aroma to it, which is nice. If you are wanting something to keep you regular, this is a good product. I hope this helped answer your question.

I think it's probably about the same as the capsule content, but pretty hard to mix in liquid to drink. The next time I will probably buy the capsules.

Pectin has a shelf life? I've had some sitting on my shelf for a year (between canning seasons) and it worked just as well as when I bought it.

Have not eaten fiber cereal. The gummies did not work great for me.I changed to another brand and changed my diet which has made a difference.

I made this question to them by email:I ordered a bag of pure alpiste, just wondering if the alpiste is free Silica Fiber or not?They Answer:silica fiber is a gimmick, if it was true and had scientific data to back its claim me along with the company that sells it would be out of business.

I bought the big quantity so in the box I'm not sure. However, the pectin is in a much bigger quantity than the calcium (since you only need a small amount to mix up) and I'd imagine it would be similar with the box. You can check with Pomona's web site and see if they have the answer. I will say that it is the best pectin and I've had great success with making jelly with it. Not needing so much sugar makes the fruit taste really strong. Yum!!!

Kristie - I bought the Fiber One for my sister ... I have never used it myself, so therefore I cannot answer your question. Sorry.

Knox is gelatin, not pectin. There are many differences. Gelatin is collagen protein. I eat it every day to strengthen my nails and hair. Pectin is carbohydrate-based so it does work to gel but not to strengthen nails. http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-gelatin-and-vs-pectin/

It's more of a juicer than for smoothies. It's better than a traditional juicer because the pulp does not get discarded. If you keep the apple skin on, you need to blend a little longer to turn it into a smooth juice. You won't be disappointed with the nutri bullet. It's really powerful.

I believe you should use the pectin that is specifically for freezer jam making. I use the classic when I use my jam making machine. I have recently used the freezer pectin and it's very good although I like the cooked jam with the classic. I also freeze the jam I make with the classic and it freezes very well. Both have excellent taste depending on the freshness of your fruit. Hope this was helpful.

I still haven't figured anything out about the pectin but have been having good luck with using about 3 tablespoons of non-fat dry milk powder. I wouldn't think this should contribute to bad cholesterol as it is made only from skim milk.

I tried using Clear Jel instead of classic pectin when canning blackberry jalapeno jam and it worked for that recipe. Not sure how it would work for any other recipes, though. Ball has recipes for Clear Jel.

this stuff works great for jams and jellies. You can use it in freezer jams or canned jams and jellies. Pectin uses precise amounts and this sometimes does not set up. Add some Ultra gel and you are good to go. They have a cook book with many different recipes . I recommend it for learning how to use Ultra gel

Yeah they are very similar actually. I can tell you most use the Fiber. I like this one because it doesn't give me a hard hold and I can use it when my hair gets longer too.

According to the list of ingredients, the source of the fiber us "Inulin (a natural vegetable fiber)." Hope this helps!

Like a lot of people have said it is a matter of how your body will react to the fiber. I'm on the Psyllium side. I get a lot better results with Psyllium then I do with inulin. Be sure to get the 100% Natural Psyllium that's Gluten free and Sugar Free and you will be fine either way. Yes the taste of Psyllium is a lot harder to get by some times but I don't take fiber because it tastes good I do it to keep diabetes from killing me.

I was not aware that this was an issue, but I would like to know. In response to the person who doesn't use it because of the taste....you are right, but I use it anyway, because it has made so much difference in my mobility, especially my knee. Has there been any thought given to making a capsule, which would leave nothing out, but would compress the ingredients to make it easier to get down.?
