    Default Wow... Sunflower Seed Butter!

    I picked some up the other day, and wow, I am impressed. I made a sandwich with the butter and apricot preserves. Man, my tastebuds are jumping for joy!

    I like it too but it is so SWEET! I got several free jars from varoius companies at the Natural Products Expo, and I seem to recall that my local Trader Joe's used to carry one but no longer do.

    Could you make it just like making peanut or cashew butter (the only two I have tried so far)

    I'd assume that you could make any seed or nut butter at home.

    I hope you find it. CC said the Trader's near her stopped selling it.

    I've had it, maybe, or pretty sure not the brand you name, and I didn't like it.

    Monki makes brilliant Sunflower Seed Butter here in Europe (I know, because I'm a little hooked on it!). Maybe the Monki stuff isn't available in Sheffield?

    yummm!
    though i admit i prefer almond or cashew butter myself. or macadamia.. now that is *pure* decadence...

    do any of you know of a good vegan chocolate spread? and preferrably organic. the only one i can get is not very nice at all... kind of oily. ick. (it's the rapunzel organic one by the way, called Choco i think)

    Green and blacks need to make one of these. I'd love to find one too. Ooooooooooooo, imagine, nut butter and chocolate spread on wholemeal toast. Yummy yummy. and you could put it in banannas too and and and... (becoming delirious...) Hang on a minute, don't they sell it on veganstore in the sweet things section. I'm off to check...

    Amarle, i'll have you know i take this kind of thing very seriously indeed.... Now, i've done my research and despite nearly being distracted into prurchasing some minxy fudge mixes, (oh yes, they tried to to scupper the whole mission but no, i was onto them) i've arrived back here and i've got the skinny on that spread...

    So, its by chocoreal and is available in original (so i'm guessing thts just pure chocolate heaven) but then there's also hazelnut and if thats not enough to drive you nuts at the very thought there's swirl, which is, wait for it... chocolate and vanilla kind of, well, in pychodelic swirls. And they're only 2.99. That's 2.99. So, should i be in the marketing department for veganstore or what??

    No giggling.

    don't just sit there laughing, my goodness girl, have you no feelings, no compassion for your fellow forumers, will you sit back and split your sides while others are without a chocolate spread supplier. I ask you, where can this poor person meet her needs, you are from a similar neck of the woods, are you not????????? Or do you have no feelings at all. You look all cute and fluffy in your kitty guise but are you some kind of monster to mock in such a fashion??

    Wild damnations, she may not be a she. What a further fool i am, and so very judgemental to immeditely assume someone with an interest in choclate spread would have to be female. Some men have taste too. I appologise profusely. It was the fudge, it has addled my brain. I must return to veganstore, i must have it. It will be mine. No, no, i will control my desires. Ahh but it would be such fun to make the fudge... no no, it will not control my taste buds so... ah but think of the things you could add to the mixture, glace cherries, almonds, orange peel, cookie dough...yes yes but it will not solve the mystery of life... no no but who needs to consider such things when they have fudge, ooodles of chocolatey, vanillaery fudge... no no, it is to much, the fudge the fudge, it will be mine, alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll mine....

    Monki makes brilliant Sunflower Seed Butter here in Europe (I know, because I'm a little hooked on it!).
    For sunflower seed butter newbies, maybe I should add that at least in my opinion, sunflower butter tastes better when mixed with something else, like Streich (another European bread spread, also containing sunflower seeds), tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, alfalfa etc. Just like some sorts of tahini and ie. raw onions, the taste can be almost a bit too intense alone. I'm on my way to get a slice of sunflower bread with all the above mentioned ingredients right now....
    I will not eat anything that walks, swims, flies, runs, skips, hops or crawls.
