What it is
Lecithin is a type of fat that comes from plants, most commonly soybeans or sunflower seeds. It is extracted and purified for use in food. Sunflower lecithin is produced without the use of chemical solvents.
Why it's used
Lecithin acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water. This makes it useful in products like chocolate, baked goods, and dressings to create a smoother texture and prevent separation. It can also help extend shelf life.
Health notes
Lecithin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a natural component of cell membranes and is involved in fat metabolism. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated lecithin and determined it to be safe for consumption. There are no widespread health concerns associated with typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Sunflower lecithin is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
