Soya is the dominant source for lecithin in food, but our sunflower lecithin powder comes from sunflowers and is preferred by those seeking an alternative due to many concerns (environmental and health related) about soya. Many people have soya allergiesmost of soya available is now genetically modified and not to mention it’s catastrophic environmental impact. Needless to say we prefer sunflower lecithin by far!

sunflower lecithin powderLecithin is often used as a cooking ingredient, but it is also taken as a nutritional supplement as it is known as a beneficial source of phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylcholine.

Phosphatidylcholine is a nutrient that aids in memory, muscle conditioning and maintaining the nervous system. Lecithin’s greatest benefit is that it has an abundance of essential fatty acids. Sunflower lecithin has the same overall fatty acid composition as soy lecithin, but sunflowers have more stearic acid and linoleic acid than soy, which is believed to help lower cholesterol levels.

sunflower lecithin powderWhy not organic?

Extracting lecithin for sunflower seeds to make a powder is a notoriously difficult thing to do without the use of solvent extraction methods, this is why it’s possible to find organic sunflower lecithin liquid but organic powder is very rare. The good news is that we now stock a certified organic version which you can check out here.

Our advice when shopping for sunflower lecithin powder is to be very careful. There are some cleverly marketed versions out there that will have you believe they’re organic and made without solvents, but once you look a little closer you’ll discover this not to be true and in fact they’re made with exactly the same solvent extraction methods. Keep your eyes peeled!
