Lecithin - how much?

I have been eating several types of flower and really enjoy the relaxation.

I use liquid sunflower lecithin and would like to know if there is a “rule of
thumb” as to how much to use per gram or ML?

Thank you and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Vonfatman!

We've been using 2 tablespoons lecithin per 950 ml of coconut oil, it seems to be working fine.

"
There are two primary reasons people use lecithin in cannabis edibles:

  1. To act as a stabilizer and emulsifier to combine oil and water for recipes like cannabis gummies
  2. To increase the potency of an infusion by increasing the bioavailability of cannabinoids in the body"
.

"However, if the recipe does not call for a specific amount, a good rule of thumb is to add 1 teaspoon of lecithin per 1 cup of liquid."

How much I use depends on what I'm making. I don't think you use too much, but it can affect the taste. And some ingredients already have lecithin in them, like some chocolate, so I don't add more if it's in there.

In general I'd follow @Hobbes
