Sunflower seed butter is a great nut butter alternative 

For people with a peanut allergy, this is a god-send. What’s more, you can easily swap it anytime a recipe calls for peanut butter, or any nut butter for that matter.

Sunflower seed butter actually tastes good 

Like its nut butter alternatives, sunflower seed butter has a nutty, savory flavor. So, it’s easy to fit it into your meals and snacks. 

Sunflower seed butter contains healthy fats

It’s important to avoid sunflower seed oil. (When you heat it, it becomes unhealthy.) But sunflower seed butter contains mostly polyunsaturated fats, which help to reduce both bad cholesterol and inflammation. 

Sunflower seed butter doesn’t contain any Omega-3 fatty acids, but it has lots of Omega-6 fatty acids. And it’s important to keep these two fatty acids in balance. 

Sunflower seed oil is versatile 

Since it has such an easy taste and texture, you can use it for just about everything. You can make your own Nutella spread with it, or add it to smoothies, breakfast bowls, sandwiches or parfaits. You could even add it to curries if that strikes your fancy. 

In short, it’s easy to add this nutrient-dense spread into your current diet.
