What is Sunflower Lecithin?

Our Sunflower Lecithin is a high quality, de-oiled, allergen-free product and a natural source of phospholipids, choline and other essential fatty acids. It acts as a natural emulsifier, ideal for preventing the separation of water and oil. Due to its versatility, sunflower lecithin is widely used in food products, cosmetics and food supplements. It is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, GMO-free, gluten-free and non-irradiated.

Differences between Sunflower Lecithin and Soy Lecithin

Compared to soy lecithin, sunflower lecithin is allergen-free and produced without the use of chemical solvents, making it a more natural and sustainable choice. Sunflower lecithin also offers a neutral taste, ideal for preparations that require a delicate flavor profile. In terms of usage, the amount needed varies: sunflower lecithin is often more concentrated, so a smaller amount is needed than soy to achieve the same emulsifying effect.

Benefits and Applications of Sunflower Lecithin

Thanks to its ability to improve texture and stability, sunflower lecithin is perfect for baked goods, chocolate, spreads, plant-based drinks and protein mixes. It is also ideal for those following a vegan or gluten-free diet, providing a healthy and natural alternative to soy lecithin.
