What it is

Sunflower seed butter is a spread made from roasted sunflower seeds. The seeds are ground into a smooth paste, similar to how peanut butter is made from peanuts. It is a plant-based alternative to other nut or seed butters.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sunflower seed butter as a source of protein and healthy fats, and for its creamy texture and mild, nutty flavor. It is often found in energy bars, baked goods, and as a spread on toast or crackers.

Health notes

Sunflower seed butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a good source of vitamin E and magnesium. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sunflower seeds and their derivatives. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Sunflower seed butter is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
