> Larry, I can't say how much actual lecithin would be in the liquid lecithin at the bulk-foods place you mentioned. Liquid lecithin can contain up to 30% or more lecithin, or as low as 10%.

Just to be clear on terminology....are you referring to phosphatidylcholine when you are referring to lecithin?

> Lecithin granules you mentioned is another way lecithin can be found. But there's also better grade lecithin which tends to be finer & less oily than the granules & it's not mixed with any flour. Some can be as high as 90% or more lecithin. The baking industry makes use of it a lot.

But still a solid?

> There's no way to be certain unless it states how much there is on the container labelling. The variation can be significantly different from one to another.

No details, but I could contact the supplier.

> I have a jar of liquid lecithin but I don't use it for supplementing. I mix it with oil when I grease my bread loaf pans so the bread slips out easily. And I mix a little with live oil so when I shake up a bottle of dressing, the oil, vinegar, & water tend to stay mixed.

I'm living on a tight budget, so finding cost-effective supplements appeals to me. And, I tend to prefer "crude concentrates" over more refined ones. Blackstrap molasses over brown sugar. That sort of thing. Momma nature got tings in da food dat we don't know.
