Gelatin, Gels, Pectins & Desserts: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category features a variety of products used for thickening, setting, and creating delicious desserts. You'll find everything from pure gelatin and pectin, which are gelling agents, to ready-to-prepare dessert mixes like gulaman and bean jelly. These items are commonly used to make custards, jellies, and other sweet treats. When choosing products in this category, checking the Nutrition Facts label is helpful. Many dessert mixes can be sources of added sugars. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest limiting added sugars. Some products may also contain saturated fat; the DGA recommends keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. Sodium content, for which the FDA Daily Value is 2,300 mg, can vary. The ingredient list will show the type of gelling agent used, such as gelatin (from animal sources), pectin (from fruits), or plant-based options like agar-agar or carrageenan. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
