Oh Man!!! Another product that I am EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT!!! In Shazzie's book
Evie's Kitchen, she talks about the important nutrient choline for brain development for a child. Choline is also important for adults and is generally only found in animal products and other cooked foods. Processed soy lecithan has been our only vegan source of choline
UNTIL NOW!!!
Sunflower Lecithan is a
DARK and
THICK syrupy substance and I can eat it by the spoonful without messing me up. Lecithan actually emulsifies fat so it was even making the nut butter I ate digest better. I put Almond butter with Sunflower lecithan in my mouth and I felt it dissolving. Angela
LOVES putting the Sunflower Lecithan in her energy soup, because it acts as a thicking agent and it makes it taste better while at the same time improving the consistency of the meal.
Unlike Soy Lecithan, Sunflower Lecithan is 100% RAW; it is cold pressed (why it is a bit higher price) - no heat or solvents are used during extraction. It is my prediction that Sunflower Lecithan is going to be the next Raw Chocolate Ingredient.
Enjoy...
Sunflower lecithin is a non-GMO emulsifier for use in raw, vegan food products. It is a perfect choice to replace lecithin made from genetically modified soybeans, as well as a prevention against possible soy-related allergies. Sunflower lecithin has a very low odor and neutral taste, and has better stability in its applications with food. Sunflower lecithin is useful in maintaining normal cholesterol levels as part of a low cholesterol diet, is a rich source of phosphatidylcholine for the prevention of gallstones, and contains choline, which is necessary for liver and brain function.
