Regina Beaugard Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I see sunflower butter is an approved Whole 30 item. My question is why this butter and not peanut butter? Sunflower butter has more omega 6 (inflammatory) and less omega 3 (anti-inflammatory) than peanut butter per tbsp per http://nutritiondata.self.com/.

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 15, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 15, 2020 Peanuts are a legume, not a nut, and all legumes are out for a whole30. You can read more about why here: http://whole9life.com/2012/09/the-legume-manifesto/ or in the book It Starts With Food. The recommendation would be for any seed or nut to limit them to a serving, which is a small closed handful, every other day or so, because in general all nuts and seeds have a less than ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.
