What it is

Sunflower lecithin is a fat-like substance derived from sunflower seeds. It is extracted and purified from the oil of the seeds.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier, which helps to blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water. It also acts as a stabilizer and can improve texture in foods such as chocolate, baked goods, and dairy alternatives.

Health notes

Sunflower lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of phospholipids, which are components of cell membranes. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated lecithin, and it is widely used globally. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intake levels.

Allergen info

Sunflower lecithin is not derived from soy or any of the other major allergens. It is considered allergen-free.
