So, what is soy and sunflower lecithins?

Soy and sunflower lecithins are natural emulsifiers derived from soybeans and sunflower seeds. These versatile ingredients are commonly used in the food industry as stabilizers, thickeners, and to improve texture and consistency. Soy lecithin is rich in choline, a nutrient that supports brain health, while sunflower lecithin is a non-GMO alternative that's gaining popularity. Both lecithins are odorless and tasteless, making them easy to incorporate into a wide range of foods, including baked goods, confectionery, and dairy products. They also have unique health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and improving cholesterol levels, making them a valuable addition to any health-conscious diet.
