I've always liked products with lecithin but have never gotten around to cooking with it. Here might be a good reason to try.
Anyone have any easy recipies using it? I wonder how long it keeps. Every so often I buy a bottle of it, open it and think about it, put it away, and months later wonder if it's still good.
"Studies over the last few decades have suggested that soy lecithin may also affect plasma HDL levels. Prolonged oral administration of soy lecithin at doses ranging from 12 to 48 g per day have resulted in significant reductions in serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels and increased HDL-C levels."

the only thing i've ever used it for is making nut milks:

i actually like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds the best (not all together, though!), but almonds or walnuts also make for a tasty milk. i made a batch with macadamia nuts once and it was yummy but very, very rich.

What properties would lecithin add to recipes? I've only heard of it as a nutritive supplement, never in recipes.

Most of my favorite "junk" foods seem to have a lot of it: Hostess cake donuts with chocolate frosting, Nabisco Fig Newtons. Various other semi-soft, semi-oily, not too sweet products seem to have it on the list. Some of them aren't sweets at all.
It makes things sort of smooth and rich and soothing. They usually taste a little salty, but I'm not sure whether that comes from the lecithin.

Lecithin is an emulsifier. It helps hold together ingredients that might otherwise separate. It's good food. Used as a broadly applied food supplement, also. Google is our friend; better than guessing.

It's an ingredient that's found in every pack of chocolates I've seen.

I never heard of nut milk what do you use it for?
whatever you use milk for. except i wouldn't put them in coffee.
good to know even when i was on a *normal diet* I couldn't have milk much I'll have to give this a try.
i find the straining part of the procedure to be a bit of a pain in the ass, but i really like the finished product. the first couple of batches i made weren't very good but once i got the hang of it i was pretty pleased with the results. it's not something everyone will enjoy, but i think they're really good.
