- 100% Sunflower Lecithin
- Natural Alternative to Eggs and Butter
- Rich in Phospholipids and Choline
- Suitable for Vegans
- Free from Gluten, Lactose, Allergens, Artificial Preservatives, and Additives
Liquid sunflower lecithin is a 100% natural product, extracted from high-quality sunflower seeds using a gentle cold-pressing process followed by natural extraction. The production method is free from chemical solvents, preserving the full spectrum of valuable nutrients. Lecithin is a blend of phospholipids - essential components for every cell in the human body.
Phospholipids and Choline
Sunflower lecithin is rich in phosphatidylcholine, a natural source of choline - a vital nutrient that:
- Supports normal liver function and detoxification
- Plays a key role in building cell membranes
- Contributes to healthy brain and nervous system function
- Helps regulate fat metabolism
The phospholipids in lecithin help maintain the elasticity of cell membranes, improve nutrient absorption, and play a key role in lipid balance within the body.
Health Benefits of Liquid Sunflower Lecithin
For Brain and Memory
Choline in lecithin supports the production of acetylcholine - a neurotransmitter essential for memory, focus, and proper nerve signal transmission.
For the Liver
Aids in the regeneration of liver cells and helps reduce fat accumulation in the liver.
For the Heart and Blood Vessels
Phospholipids help maintain normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
For Digestion
Facilitates the emulsification and breakdown of fats, supporting the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
For Cellular Health
Plays a role in building all cell membranes in the body, maintaining their flexibility and integrity.
Liquid Sunflower Lecithin in Cooking
A Natural Emulsifier
Lecithin naturally binds water and fat, preventing them from separating. Thanks to this property, it:
- Gives sauces, creams, and mayonnaise a smooth, homogeneous texture
- Improves the volume and texture of baked goods
- Extends the freshness of pastries and bread
- Helps achieve a lighter, airier structure in cakes, sponges, and bread
As a Substitute for Butter and Eggs
Liquid sunflower lecithin can be used as a vegan alternative to eggs in baking and confectionery, acting as a binding and emulsifying agent. In bread and other dough-based products, it can replace part of the fat, giving softness and extending shelf life.
Suggested Culinary Uses
- Homemade Bread: Add 1-2 tbsp to dough for a softer texture and longer freshness.
- Smoothies and Shakes: Adds creaminess and enhances nutrient absorption.
- Egg-Free Mayonnaise: Stabilizes the mixture and prevents oil separation.
- Chocolate and Confectionery: Creates a silky texture and prevents cocoa butter separation.
