I do sell a small jar of it but, you can make it yourself and the Co-Op offers the liquid lecithin. You can make as much or as little as you like just use your scale and weigh out the ingredients.
Recipe:
1 part Liquid Lecithin
1 parts coconut oil
Directions:
- In a glass jar that you are going to keep the final product in, weigh out the ingredients.
- Microwave them until the coconut oil is melted
- Mix together well and that's it.
Store in the fridge or leave at room temperature. I usually put mine in the fridge but it does not matter. You don't have to use much, and rub it on the pan until you don't see it. It leaves a coating that really works well.
