Lecithin is also known as soy lecithin, egg lecithin, and sunflower lecithin, among others Lecithin is primarily found in soybeans and eggs. It is also present in wheat germ, peanuts, and liver. 

The food additive lecithin is made in an industrial process. For example, soy lecithin is created from the combination of soybean oil and hot water.
