lecithin
Natural food binder
Lecithin is a fatty substance found in animal and plant tissues, used as an emulsifier in foods and supplements.
It helps blend ingredients that normally don't mix, like oil and water: The recipe calls for a teaspoon of soy lecithin.
Lecithin is extracted mainly from soybeans and egg yolks.
