We use sunflower lecithin in some of our Kid's Good Stuff & Good Green Vitality bars. Sunflower lecithin is made by dehydrating a sunflower and separating it into three parts: oil, gum, and solids. The lecithin comes from the gum. It is processed through a cold press system like the one used to make olive oil. Lecithin itself is an important functional ingredient as it is a source of phosphatides.
