The middle lamella of the cell wall of plant cells is made up of calcium pectate. Calcium pectate helps to keep the cell wall rigid and turgid. Calcium pectate is found in all of the fruits and vegetables we eat. This essential phytochemical is responsible for the characteristic crunch that helps make vegetables so delicious.
