Lecithin granules have a semi-powdered consistency since they also have a slight amount of moisture present. Granulated lecithin is made by combining lecithin powder and oil. Just like every lecithin, granules are also used for different industrial processes.
Granulated lecithin usually has a low-calorie count but a relatively higher fat ratio. That is why it is mainly used in low-carb items or instant food products. Its consistency makes it difficult to be an emulsifying agent.
Special machinery is used in industries to break the granules so that they can be easily incorporated into product recipes.
Uses:
Lecithin Granules are more commonly used in the production of packaged ready-to-eat baked food. It is usually added to the dough to condition it.
Besides that, vegan product manufacturers also mix lecithin granules in their products. However, those granules have to be specifically sourced from plants. Plant-based lecithin comes from sunflowers, soy, rapeseed, chickpeas, etc.
