I’m really happy with this Healthier Comforts Sunflower Lecithin Powder. It is non GMO, plant based, and blends smoothly into whatever I’m making. I mostly use it in my homemade salad dressings to prevent separation, and in my homemade plant based milks and butters for stabilisation. It dissolves well without clumping or leaving a strong taste.I also like how versatile it is. It works great as an emulsifier for chocolate and as an egg substitute in my vegan recipes when baking. Something I hadn't tried before was adding it to DIY skincare recipes, as suggested on the back, so I did that with good results.The powder is fresh and clean, and comes in a resealable pouch. The 4oz size has a minimum of 11 servings in it, but you can get more out of it if you use less than the one and a half tablespoon's worth. A little goes a long way, depending on how much you use (it is recommended to use 1 teaspoon per 1 cup of liquid). So it is a decent value for a nice quality natural phospholipid source.

I had never used any lecithin before, but was intrigued what it could do, so I got this sunflower lecithin to try. Upon opening the bag, some powder flew out, it was sticky. There were clumps in there. There wasn't a smell that I could detect.I wanted to try it on a sauce I was making for Hainanese Chicken Rice, which only had sugar, sesame oil, and soy sauce in it. Directions on the bag said to mix the sunflower lecithin with a liquid first. I spooned out some, and mixed it with water in a small cup (second picture). I did my best to mix it, but it looked like there was still some that didn't dissolve completely. Next picture is my sauce before the addition of lecithin, last picture is the one with sunflower lecithin added. It worked! It emulsified the sauce. I let it sit there for hours, and it was mostly still emulsified.It didn't add or take away any taste from my sauce at all. It had no taste. Easy enough to mix, though there were still visible lecithin that didn't get mixed in with water, it was all mixed in when I added it to my sauce and did a quick mix with my spoon. Quality seems great and it was effective. This is a 4oz bag, and I only used very little to mix it with my sauce, so this will last me a while, I'd say it's a pretty good value for money.

Sunflower lecithin is an emulsifier that contains a mix of phospholipids (fats) that help oil and water to blend together more stably. It would be great for a soup, sauce or vinaigrette that you want to be creamy and not have a sheen of oil on top of it. It does add more fat to your recipe but fat tastes good, right? It's fairly healthy fat.So far I have tried it for baking. I have an egg white powder that I can use as an egg substitute but it tends to make cake a bit dense so I thought that sunflower lecithin is a potential way to add some of the qualities of egg yolk and lighten up my baking results. That worked very well. My cupcakes, based on a boxed cake mix that I tweaked and also added a lot of dutch process cocoa powder to, turned out with a fine, even and very soft texture, that was also durable to frost and crumb free on the exterior of the cake for ease of frosting. I have never had boxed cake mix turn out like that and had no doubt that sunflower lecithin was the tweak that produced this softness. I will definitely be experimenting with it further when I'd like soft textured baked goods, even in addition to normal chicken eggs. This is my new secret for making a moist, soft sponge cake.Sunflower lecithin is a fine powder that is yellow in color like a pale egg yolk color, and since it is largely fats it is a little bit cakey and clumpy in its powdered state. It kind of wanted to clump into the resealable strip of its bag making it harder to re-seal. It wasn't difficult to measure out or blend into cake batter.

What can’t sunflowers do? I’m a big fan of sunflower seeds and also a fan of dairy alternatives in my tease and coffees or smoothies. Adding a little bit of this sunflower lecitin definitely makes a noticeable difference in the creamy texture. Even adding this to my weekend pancakes seem to help with fluffiness. Generally, if I making a smoothie, I would’ve added a small amount of avocado or banana to the mix to keep it smooth and creamy, but this also does the trick. It mixes well has no real adverse smell. And appears to be of high-quality. I really like that. There’s no additional taste added to any product. This is added to. Overall, I would say it’s a good value for your money.At $10 MSRP, its not a bad deal.

This is a 4 oz resealable zip top bag of Sunflower Lecithin powder, from Healthier Comforts. It arrived fresh and factory sealed. This is a good quality lecithin powder made from sunflower seeds rather than the more commonly used eggs, so it is vegan. It does still retain some of the scent of sunflower seeds and maybe just a little of the nutty taste as well, but for the most part it is pretty neutral. I am currently using it for bread baking. It mixes easily with the wet ingredients in my bread recipes. It performs as expected, giving my bread a nice crumb and adding moistness. The loaf in my photo is pumpernickel and it came out great using this lecithin powder. I haven't yet but I will also use this in cake baking, and also intend to take advantage of its emulsifying qualities by using it in homemade salad dressing and homemade nut milk. I am happy with the effectiveness of this lecithin. At the current price of $9.75 for the 4 oz bag, it is somewhat on the pricey side and is not as good of a value as the 12 oz bag, so if you do a lot of baking or make a lot of salad dressing etc. you may want to just go for the larger size.

The sunflower lecithin came in a s mall bag with about 11 full-sized servings. Inside the bag, the lecithin looks like a type of flour. However, the lecithin seemed to clump together easily. When scooping it out, there were always little mounds packed together. When I mixed the powder in liquid, the lecithin didn't dissolve readily. It took some shaking or blending to get it to dissolve. Just mixing it didn't work all that well.Aside from that, the lecithin was easy to use and incorporate into baked goods. I didn't notice any big difference in the resulting product whether I used the lecithin or not, so this might not be all the necessary for the average baker. For those who are more versed in the baking world where small tweaks in a recipe make a big difference, this might be more worthwhile.I also did an experiment to see how well it worked as a liquid emulsifier. When I mixed oil and water together, the oil separated from the water almost immediately. When I mixed oil and water with the lecithin powder dissolved in it, the oil took a few minutes to separate from the water. It wasn't a huge difference, but it clearly helped hold the mixture together.All that being said, I always like to find new, interesting products that are vegan. While I'm not sure if I'll be getting this product again, I'll enjoy experimenting with it while I have it. I didn't notice any downsides to using it (the powder didn't add any weird taste or texture when added into recipes). It's not a magic ingredient, but it could have its uses in certain circumstances.

The Healthier Comforts Sunflower Lecithin Powder has the consistency of flour and is sandy in color. The texture is sticky, especially when damp, and the powder tends to hold onto my metal measuring spoons.The seal on the bag is inadequate and undersized for this powder. I have to fold the top down and seal the bag with a clip, since the powder blocks the groove in the sealing strip.The lecithin has a smell very similar to fish food, yet it has almost no taste.I added 1/2 teaspoon of the dry powder to about a half cup of red wine vinegar and canola oil. Without the lecithin, the oil and vinegar mixture started separating within seconds. After mixing in the lecithin, the oil and vinegar didn't start to separate until 15 minutes later. This is plenty of time to mix up a salad dressing and pour it over several salads before the dressing would need to be mixed again. And the flavor was unchanged after adding the lecithin.As can be seen in the attached video, the sunflower lecithin does not dissolve easily in the oil and vinegar mixture. The directions state to dissolve the powder in one liquid before combining into a mixture. I tried dissolving some in a small amount of water, but it still made small clumps. A frother or small mixer may have better results.The cost is high for only 4 ounces, but still comparable to local sources. Since only a teaspoon of powder is needed per cup of liquid, it should last a long time. The Best By date shows it is good for about 2 years when stored in a cool, dry place. I keep it in my refrigerator.I like that this is processed in a dedicated gluten free facility.

This is my first time trying powdered lecithin as I usually buy liquid. I add lecithin to my coconut oil infusions and this powder worked well for this purpose. It dissolved well in warm coconut oil and improved my infusions as I would expect from a similar amount of liquid lecithin. It doesn't have much taste and the small bag was easy to scoop from with a good zip-lock closure.

The inner zip-loc isn't sealed, so when you cut the bag open initially, the fine powder is caked into it up top. That makes for a bit of a mess to clean up, and also an extremely difficult seal to operate.The powder doesn't fully disolve in water, but it does have a pleasantly creamy texture. Overall, it is quite satisfying.

Not really sure what I was expecting. I got this to thicken my daily smoothies, but it didn’t seem to do much for my smoothies.The instructions say 1 tsp per 8 oz, yet the serving size is 1 1/2 Tbs. Sort of tough to gauge what your nutritional content is.I’m thinking it might be better suited for baking and health care products rather than my smoothies.

As an emulsifier, it works reasonably well. I used a pinch of it when making a scampi sauce and it did help keep the butter from breaking. I used more in a salad dressing instead of egg yolks and that worked too, but I had a problem with that one: you can kind of taste the product. Unlike some emulsifiers, it has a distinct flavor, and in certain contexts it will distract from what you're making. The consistency is fine and powdered. I wish it was a bit easier to use: it seems to have a bit of a problem clumping up instead of dispersing evenly, depending on how much I put in at once. The bag is also a bit annoying; I wish they used a higher-quality zip top.But, plant-based emulsifiers are hard to find. This is probably a pretty good choice for vegans out there, so I'm not gonna be too harsh. This is a very viable plant-based alternative to regular emulsifiers.

Unlike everyone else, I put mine in bread. It's an emulsifier. That means it will give you a better crumb for one thing, but another big thing is that the bread will last longer. If you've ever wondered why your homemade bread doesn't quite come out right, it's because you aren't using an emulsifier. Since this is an emulsifier, it will drastically improve your bread. You want to use about a teaspoon for every two or three cups of flour in the bread. I have a zojirushi virtuoso plus, and I have been putting 10 g of this into the bread machine.One of the other benefits of putting this in your bread is that it will extend the shelf life by a couple days. Now, that doesn't mean you can just leave it out on the counter. It will still turn into a brick. Stick it in a bread keeper.You will notice your dough looking stickier. That's fine. It's what it's supposed to be doing. My bread machine is obviously high end, but still, you'll notice better bread even in a cheap bread machine and especially if you make it yourself. I am a combination of too lazy and too busy to make bread myself.As far as this goes, it is definitely sunflower lecithin. It looks like it, it smells like it, and it acts like it. Yes, you can put it in a smoothie if you want to. However, I'm using it as an emulsifier, because it is an emulsifierThe only problem I have with it is the bag it comes in. When they filled it, they filled it all the way up beyond the zipper. It is sealed above it when you first get it, but you have to open that up to get to the zipper. When you do, you discover that there is lecithin everywhere. There was so much in the zipper that I couldn't even manage to close this thing. I had to stick it in a separate container. That's not the end of the world, but it is kind of annoying.It made my bread so much better that that separate container now has a label on it that says sunflower lecithin. In other words, I'm going to buy more sunflower lecithin, and dump it in that container. This stuff is good enough that it may be want to keep buying it.The question, of course, is whether or not I'll continue buying this particular brand. The answer looks to be no. The packaging isn't great, and it costs about double the normal price for sunflower lecithin on Amazon. Look at the price per ounce. That is not the best value for money I've ever seen.

I’ve been really happy with this Healthier Comforts Sunflower Lecithin Powder. Since I’m keto and sugar‑free, I’m pretty selective about ingredients, and I love that this is just one clean, plant‑based ingredient with no fillers or additives. It blends smoothly into pretty much anything I’ve tried so far.I’ve mainly been using it in smoothies, homemade chocolate, and salad dressings, and it really does help everything come together without separating. The texture improvement is noticeable - creamier, smoother, and more consistent without changing the flavor at all. It’s especially great for keto chocolate since it helps the mixture stay silky instead of grainy.One of the reasons I like using lecithin is that it helps improve the texture of high‑fat recipes, which can sometimes separate or feel oily. It also mixes well into low‑carb drinks and baked goods, making them smoother without adding carbs or sugar. For me, it’s an easy way to keep keto recipes tasting more like their traditional versions. I also appreciate that it’s non‑GMO, soy‑free, and packed in the USA, and the powder itself is fine and easy to work with. A little goes a long way, so the bag lasts longer than you’d expect.Overall, it’s a super versatile pantry staple if you want cleaner ingredients and better texture in your recipes. It’s definitely earned a spot in my keto kitchen.

Good product

I love mixing in a small bit of this (maybe 1/4 cup a most in my 4-cup batch) in my sourdough baking every week. I love that it fluffens up whatever it's added to without leaving a strong taste. Decent value for money, and the quality is excellent. It smells a little strong, but added into things, it leaves without much fanfare. I like that it adds soft texture, which is all the more I need in these days when my throat is sensitive to hard foods. It's easy to use like any powder for baking, so have at it!

This is a useful ingredient to have available. I even used it for some gluten free baking when the recipe called for it. Even this small pouch can go a long way (good value!) as you're supposed to use a small amount in water (I didn't even follow the directions right the first time, but since it went into a bread machine, it turned out alright anyways, easy peasy). I can no longer have this ingredient currently as I am on a restrictive regimen where I cannot have seeds/ seed oils/seed derivatives, but I'm keeping this around for when I can reintroduce them back into my diet. I had never used sunflower lecithin before trying this specific brand of it, but the quality seemed decent.

I usually use this type of supplement powder with my smoothies and yogurt. For yogurt, I simply sprinkle a little bit on top, and for smoothies, I just add it into the blender with the rest of my drink. It blends in pretty easily, so it has been very convenient to add to my routine.To be honest, I did not notice any dramatic or immediate results from taking this, but I also was not expecting something like that. I mainly use it because I like adding small beneficial ingredients to the foods I already eat, especially when I am trying to keep a healthier eating routine.I did my own research before trying sunflower lecithin, and I liked that it is plant-based, non-GMO, and often used as a natural source of phospholipids. I also like that it can be used in different ways, not just for smoothies, but also for baking, dressings, or other homemade recipes.For me, it did not bother my sensitive stomach, and I did not experience any noticeable side effects. The taste is mild enough that it does not ruin my yogurt or smoothie, which is important because I would not keep using something if it made my food taste strange.In short, I think this is a nice, simple powder to have if you already enjoy making smoothies, yogurt bowls, or healthier snacks at home. I do not see it as a miracle supplement, but as an easy little add-on to make my usual foods feel a bit more nourishing. But I think it's quite worth trying it out at least once, and not a bad deal in terms of both quantity and quality vs price :)

It is a reasonable amount of money for a reasonable weight of lecithin. It is easy to use and has no off taste, or any taste at all. I use it in backing and it seems to be a reasonable item for this use.
