Re: Apple peels?

[Guest guest]

Pectin is illegal as an added ingredient. Apple peels should not be eaten at

the

beginning of the diet. See:

Pectin is a polysaccharide which, in the presence of acid and sugar, gels.

It is

used as a thickener in jams, and occurs naturally in some fruit, like

apples. In

apples, it's mostly in the peel, and so for someone beginning the diet, you

normally wouldn't get too much from eating an apple, because you'd peel it.

But

if you drink fresh pressed apple juice/cider/stuff you do get more pectin

from the

peels, and that's what part of the sediment at the bottom of the jug

is. So you

shouldn't shake it up too much before you pour yourself a glass.

Pectin as an added ingredient is not legal, as it is a complex sugar.
