About Seeds, sunflower seed butter, without salt

Sunflower seed butter is made by grinding roasted sunflower seeds into a smooth spread. Its great advantage is that it is completely free of both peanuts and tree nuts, which has made it a go-to alternative in schools and households managing nut allergies — it spreads, tastes and behaves much like peanut butter.

This is the unsalted version, at roughly 617 calories per 100 grams, with most of its energy coming from the seeds' unsaturated oils. It is a particularly strong source of vitamin E and magnesium, and supplies plenty of plant protein, fiber, selenium, zinc and iron. As with any seed or nut butter, a tablespoon or two is the everyday serving rather than the full 100 grams measured here.

It has a slightly earthier, less sweet flavor than peanut butter and can take on a greenish tint when baked (a harmless reaction between its chlorogenic acid and baking soda). It works the same way in every other respect — on toast, in smoothies, or stirred into sauces and energy bars.
