Creamier and milder than almond butter. Excellent in desserts, sauces, and anywhere you want a subtle, sweet-nutty flavor.
Sunflower Seed Butter
Nut-free alternative with a similar consistency. Slightly more savory flavor. Best in baking and sauces; can turn baked goods greenish due to chlorophyll reaction.
