Calories in a typical serving
Per-100 g figures are useful for comparison but nobody eats 100 g of anything on purpose. These are the USDA's own household measures.

How pectin, liquid compares
Among the 89 sweets items on this site, pectin, liquid ranks 88 of 89 by calorie density, against a category average of 372 kcal per 100 g — so it is about 97% less calorie-dense than typical for its group.
It carries 0 g of protein per 100 calories, so it is not a meaningful protein source.
To burn off one fl oz assumed specific gravity of honey (3 kcal), a 70 kg adult would walk for roughly 1 minutes — see the walking calculation on our sister site, or pick a different activity. Treat that as a sense of scale rather than a rule: eating and moving are not a simple ledger.
Questions
How many calories are in pectin, liquid?
Pectin, liquid contains 11 calories per 100 g, which works out to about 3 calories per fl oz assumed specific gravity of honey. It also provides 0.0 g of protein, 2.1 g of carbohydrate and 0.0 g of fat per 100 g.
What is the macro breakdown of pectin, liquid?
By calories, pectin, liquid is roughly 100% carbohydrate, 0% protein and 0% fat. That makes it a predominantly carbohydrate-based food.
How long does it take to burn off a fl oz assumed specific gravity of honey?
About 1 minutes of ordinary walking for a 70 kg adult (MET 4.0). That is a rough guide for scale, not a prescription — appetite and activity interact in ways a simple subtraction does not capture.
Is this figure exact for the pectin, liquid I bought?
No. These are USDA reference values, averaged across samples. Real foods vary with variety, ripeness, growing conditions, cut, brand and how they were cooked — 10–20% either way is normal. Use them for planning, not precision.
