SUN+ BUTTER

SUN+ BUTTER

Sunflower seed butter (SSB) is made from grinding roasted sunflower seeds.  SSB has gotten more popular in recent years as a nut-free alternative to peanut butter.  It is rich in protein (3 grams per Tbsp) and healthy fats as well as vitamin E and essential minerals like magnesium and manganese.
