So, what is lecithine?

Lecithin is a natural fatty substance that can be found in many plant and animal tissues, including soybeans, eggs, and sunflower seeds. It is commonly used as an emulsifier in food manufacturing to improve texture and consistency. Lecithin has a unique ability to attract both oil and water molecules, making it an essential ingredient in products like chocolate, baked goods, and salad dressings. It can also be used as a dietary supplement, as it is a source of choline, a nutrient that supports healthy brain function. Lecithin has a neutral taste and is non-toxic, making it a popular ingredient in many foods and supplements.
