Ecogenya Sunflower Lecithin Powder – Non-GMO, Soy-Free Phospholipid & Choline Source
Ecogenya Sunflower Lecithin Powder – Non-GMO, Soy-Free Phospholipid & Choline Source
Couldn't load pickup availability
Sunflower lecithin is the soy-free alternative most people are actually looking for when they reach for lecithin. Ours is a pure, non-GMO powder made from sunflower seeds, with nothing else added.
Lecithin is a natural source of phospholipids, including phosphatidylcholine, which is where its choline content comes from. Those same phospholipids are what make it such a reliable emulsifier: it helps oil and water stay blended, which is why it turns up in everything from smoothies and homemade nut milks to baking and supplement formulation. The taste is mild and slightly nutty.
- Source: sunflower seed lecithin, non-GMO and soy-free
- Natural source of phospholipids and choline
- Format: free-flowing powder
- Sizes: 36 g, 100 g, 250 g and 500 g, plus 1 kg, 6 kg and 10 kg bulk
- Vegan, with no fillers, flow agents or preservatives
- Made in Canada from imported ingredients
Who it is for: home bakers and cooks, people making their own smoothies or nut milks, anyone avoiding soy, and formulators who need a clean emulsifier in bulk.
How to use: blend 1/2 to 1 teaspoon into smoothies, coffee, batters or dressings. It disperses best when blended into liquid rather than sprinkled on top.
The Ecogenya difference: Canadian owned, Made in Canada from imported ingredients, third-party tested for heavy metals with the Certificate of Analysis on this page, and a tree planted with every purchase.

Fruiting body vs Mycelium and Spores
There is a lot of discussion around which parts of the mushroom should be used for extraction. Here is a short explanation:
In mushrooms, the part that is typically used for extracting nutrients and compounds is the fruiting body, which is the visible part of the mushroom that emerges above ground. This is because the fruiting body contains most of the bioactive compounds, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial substances.
The fruiting body is rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds because it is where the reproductive structures of the mushroom develop. These structures contain various substances that the mushroom needs for growth and reproduction, as well as compounds that help defend against pathogens and predators.
However, it's worth noting that different parts of the mushroom may have different nutritional profiles and concentrations of bioactive compounds. For example, some mushrooms also produce mycelium, the underground network of fungal threads, which can also contain valuable nutrients and compounds. Additionally, certain species of mushrooms may have medicinal properties associated with specific parts of the organism, such as the mycelium or even the spores. Therefore, the specific part of the mushroom used for extraction can depend on the desired nutrients or compounds and the intended use.
We always use the fruiting body for our extracts but we are also working on developing special compound extracts from other parts like the mycelium and spores. Keep an eye on our blogs and subscribe to our newsletter to get notified of these advancements as they happen.
