Did you know sunflower seed butter is more nutritionally superior to almond and peanut butter?

SunButter, derived from organic roasted sunflower seeds, stands out for its exceptional nutritional benefits when compared to both peanut butter and almond butter. While peanut butter is a household staple and almond butter is gaining popularity, SunButter takes the lead in several key aspects of nutrition.

Compared to peanut butter, SunButter (the organic jar) stands out with its notably reduced saturated fat content and complete absence of trans fats. Additionally, sunflower seed butter boasts nearly four times the vitamin E content and double the amounts of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc. These nutritional powerhouses are essential for overall health and well-being.

Almond butter, known for its nutty flavor and health benefits, also falls short in comparison to SunButter. While almond butter offers its share of vitamin E, magnesium, and other nutrients, it can't match SunButters impressive nutrient density. Also, almond cultivation demands substantial water resources, making Sunflower seed butter a more environmentally sustainable choice. This completely put me off wanting to consume so many almonds, according this this study it takes 3.2 gallons to grow a single almond! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1470160X17308592 So now I use almond butter sparingly as a treat, not daily consumption. I don’t want to be part of the problem. 

Sunflowers only require an inch of water per week during the growing season! This is alarming to me! It’s because their roots go 3-4 meters in the ground and they are self-sufficient when it comes to drawing water from the soil and rain. We need to encourage more of these self-sufficient plants so our environment doesn’t suffer so much. Our choice of consumption directly affects the health of the environment.

Opting for the "SunButter Organic" variant ensures a clean spread without any added sugar or salt, making it an ideal choice! Whether you're looking to reduce saturated fat intake, boost vitamin and mineral consumption, help the environment, or simply enjoy a delicious and nutritious spread, SunButter emerges as the top contender in the world of nut and seed butter.
