Soy lecithin’s plus
- Natural ingredient
- Simple to use
How do I use it?
- In foams and mousse: use 2 g (1 big teaspoon) for 250 to 300 g. Use a powerful long neck blender moving up and down while on full speed to incorporate as much air as possible. Add a drop of oil to increase the effect.
- In bread mixes: use 2 g (1 big teaspoon) for 400 g dough.
- On a daily basis: a spoonful of lecithin can be added as an emulsifier to your food (salad dressing, a soup...). Its neutral flavor will not modify your food’s taste.
Notes
- Flavor and color your espuma with cordial, juice or even stock.
- Soy lecithin acts supposedly on concentration and stimulates your memory.
