What it is

Organic sunflower butter is a spread made from roasted organic sunflower seeds. The seeds are ground into a smooth paste, often with a touch of salt and sometimes other ingredients. It is a dairy-free and nut-free alternative to peanut or almond butter.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sunflower butter as a source of healthy fats, protein, and a creamy texture. It functions as a spread, a filling, or an ingredient in baked goods and energy bars. It is commonly found in snack bars, nut and seed butter blends, and as a spread on toast or fruit.

The WHO/IARC has not classified sunflower seeds or their derivatives as carcinogenic. JECFA has evaluated sunflower oil and set an acceptable daily intake.
