lecithin granules?

[chefmcone76]

I've been playing around with lecithin which is available in a couple forms at Whole Foods, (liquid and granules). I know of the internet sources of powdered, but are the granules the same just a coarser grind? If so, I'm assuming I could just grind them in a spice grinder. I tried using the liqiuid soy lecithin and it imparts a god awful taste to whatever it graces. Does the powdered form impart any flavor?

I've used the granules and ground them up in my spice grinder. No problem getting a powder but it's a bear to clean the grinder after. very oily sticky coating is left behind. I tried to use it in a salad dressing instead of mustard as an emulsifier. Didn't work as well as mustard but maybe I didn't use the right amount.

Grind them up in a spice grinder and you're fine. L'Epicerie also seels soy lecithin in liquid form.

Ive found that powder always seems to be more expensive. I get mine at GNC for $9.99 in granules and its perfect!
