Sunbutter Creamy Sunflower Spread Peanut Free Non Allergen Two Five Pound Containers

Best sunbutter at the best price! Low sugar/carb, creamy and delicious. You do have to stir it to mix in the separated oil but that’s normal. Highly recommend!

My kids with multiple food allergies (including peanuts) already have enough on their plate without having to explain why they're eating weird looking stuff. So I am thrilled to be able to recommend Sunbutter as a peanut butter substitute. My kids don't have to do without that childhood lunch staple, the peanut-butter sandwich.Sunbutter doesn't taste like peanut butter; it tastes like sunflower seeds. However, this is not an unpleasant taste, just different. It has the exact same texture and mouth-feel as peanut butter, though, so it can be used as a straight substitute for peanut butter in all kinds of recipes. We've used it as a substitute to make peanut-free peanut sauce, peanut butter cookies, and peanut butter fudge. It functions exactly as peanut butter does, and as long as the sunflower-seed taste goes well in the recipe, it does just fine. I should warn you, though, there are some contexts where the flavor just doesn't work with the recipe. On the other hand you may find that some people will prefer the flavor. Our neighbors don't have a single peanut-allergic kid, but they bought some Sunbutter anyway because their kids had it over at our peanut-free house and loved it.Sunbutter does have a couple of quirks. First, if you expose it to alkali, it turns green. So if you use it in a recipe that is heavy on the baking soda, you may get an unexpected result. And of course since detergent is alkali, if you leave any on the knife and put it in the dishwasher, that which doesn't wash off will be a harmless but very ugly fecal shade of green. Rinse thoroughly before putting Sunbutter-covered utensils in the dishwasher. Second, it has more of a tendency than peanut butter to separate into oil and solids. I used to buy it in the large tubs but when we'd open one up there was an inch-thick layer of sunflower oil on the top. We tried to mix it in but then we found that the stuff at the bottom was so thick and dry that it couldn't be spreaded at all. We developed two workarounds for this: one, upon opening a new container, we'd dump it in the mixer and mix it all up. Two, buy smaller jars.Overall, three cheers for Sunbutter!

My son has Celiac disease and while he is not allergic to peanuts or tree nuts - his best friend is. They sit next to each other during lunch in school, so I have to be careful to not harm his buddy with what I pack in my son's lunch. I really think that this product is superior to the soynut butters that I find. My family likes the taste of those, but I'm not comfortable adding an abundance of soy to my family's diet.My son has had absolutely no complaints with this. He even asks for it at home when regular peanut butter is an option for him. I wish I would have looked for this on Amazon sooner because they have a better deal than what I can find in my local stores. I think that if more people would be aware of this product, more schools would agree to implement school-wide peanut free policies if they have peanut-allergic students. (In fact, I think I'm going to point this product out to my son's school.)It doesn't taste like peanut butter - but it is still very good. It tastes just like sunflower seeds. The texture is similar to some organic peanut butters. It's not quite as thick as Jif or Skippy and is a little oily. It spreads on easily - which is something that I'm extremely happy about being that gluten free bread is so crumbly. While I haven't gone crazy in using this in baking recipes, it has worked for the ones that I did try.I can't really comment on how long this product lasts. I keep it in the refrigerator and we usually use it up within a few weeks. While I realize that I've never had an open jar all that long, it never did taste rancid or off during that time.

I absolutely love this brand. Not sweet like some others. Easy to stir. Can cook with it just like alternative types. Best place to purchase from. Plus it comes right to your door. I prefer the yellow label. For some reason this was cheaper this month. Next time who knows.

We've tried various sunbutters, and this has been our favorite for years. The consistency is just like peanut butter. We love the taste and consistency over other sunbutters. We use it in cooking and baking as well. The 6-pack is a great value over just buying a single jar at the stores if you will use it often or regularly. We've also tried the chunky from this brand and also liked it a lot!

Since I love sunflower seeds, I grabbed this product in my local grocery when it was on a sale as an item soon to be discontinued. Of course I loved it, even though it had some sugar added. That was a few years ago, before I learned about Oxalate and how many foods contain high amounts. This includes peanuts. My older brother has had 2 kidney stone events (Dad had at least one when I was a child) and even though I am female, there is a chance I could be at risk. Therefore I am educating myself and making a few dietary changes. Sunflower seeds are on the safe list. This sunflower butter is even more delicious without sugar or salt!My only complaint is that on (eagerly) opening the first container in my shipment, I was not happy to discover that the jar was only about 2/3 full. This is an expensive item and I don’t like to see empty air that we customers have to pay for. That being said, I use this sun butter sparingly to make it last a little longer =)

I love this sunflower seed butter. I like to spread it on toast or to make a sunflower seed butter and jelly sandwich. I also love peanut butter, but this is a great alternative for those that are all allergic to peanuts. The consistency is exactly the same as peanut butter, but taste like sunflower seeds of course! Delicious!
