So, what is lécithine tournesol?

Lécithine tournesol, also known as sunflower lecithin, is a natural food ingredient derived from the seeds of sunflowers. It is a complex mixture of phospholipids, which are essential building blocks of cell membranes. Lécithine tournesol is widely used in the food industry as an emulsifier, helping to blend and stabilize ingredients that would otherwise separate. It is commonly found in baked goods, chocolates, and salad dressings, and is valued for its ability to improve texture and mouthfeel. Unlike soy lecithin, lécithine tournesol is allergen-free and non-GMO, making it a popular choice among health-conscious consumers.
