kindergartencowgirl Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I like these for lunch as a dip for raw veggies. I thought the sunbutter was better since it's made from a seed, not a nut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted February 19, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 19, 2013 Neither are especially good because both are relatively high in omega 6 fatty acids, but sunflower seeds are worse than almonds. It is okay to eat either one occasionally, but they are best as irregular treats and not part of your regular lunch routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martha Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 the only sunflower seed butter I've found in my stores contains a sweetener, so I don't buy it. does someone make a brand that's not loaded with junk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The organic sunbutter can be found with no sweeteners, I believe...but I just avoid them, for the reasons Tom said. Especially where sunflowers are concerned. I either shell em myself or I don't eat them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
