How do I use Kate Naturals Sunflower Lecithin Powder when baking bread?

How much sunflower lecithin should I use for homemade gummies?
For most gummy recipes, start with about 1 1/3 tbsp (10 grams) of the powder per batch. Whisk it into your warm liquid mixture before adding the gelling agent to ensure a smooth, non-grainy texture.
Can I use this lecithin in sauces and dressings?

How should I store the powder to keep it fresh?
Store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Make sure the lid is sealed tightly after each use to maintain freshness.
What is the difference between sunflower lecithin and soy lecithin?
Sunflower lecithin is extracted from sunflower seeds rather than soybeans, making it suitable for those with soy allergies or who prefer a non-GMO, soy-free option. Both function as emulsifiers, but sunflower lecithin is preferred in clean-label, vegan, and allergen-friendly kitchens.
