NH Pectin Vegan Gluten-Free – 50g/2oz | Modernist Pantry

Unlock versatile gelling with NH Pectin

Modernist Pantry NH Pectin is a plant-based, gluten-free thickener designed for modernist cooking and home kitchen experimentation. Derived from citrus fruit, this pectin helps create smooth gels, stable textures, and glossy glazes, all while staying true to clean ingredient goals. It’s crafted to support culinary exploration—from delicate fruit glazes to creamy, stabilized drinks—without compromising on plant-based or gluten-free standards.

What makes NH Pectin stand out

This pectin is primarily used for preparing glazes for fruits, tarts, and pastries. It is thermally reversible, meaning you can set it, re-melt, and set again as your recipe evolves. The product includes calcium, so you don’t need to add it separately in most applications. These properties make NH Pectin a practical choice for iterative dessert development and precise texture control.
