Pectin
Pectin is a common soluble fiber only found on fruit and is responsible for our digestive health.
Being a probiotic fiber, it helps nurture our good gut bacteria, making us absorb nutrients better. Pectin is so effective in getting our intestines in order that the compound is linked with reducing the risk of colon cancer.
Apples, pears, and plums are high on pectin, but most fruit is an excellent source for the healthy fiber.
