Nut butter alternative

[Guest guest]

I just found out about sun butter from a family in our home school co-op who has

a child with many allergies(nuts being one of them). We have another family in

the group who has a son with life threatening and very, very sensitive to

peanuts. He can't even touch something that touched something that touch a

contaminated product. He will die within minutes. Anyway, our group found sun

butter which is made from sunflower seeds. This would be an advanced food for

SCDers since it is made from a seed, but could be something to use when the

healing reaches that point. It would be a great substitute if your child is

allergic to nuts, or your school has a no nut policy. We have found it at Super

Target, Wal Mart Super Center, and many of our local chains here in the

southeastern US. One grocery chain did not have it, and a family has requested

they start stocking it. They were glad to coblige. I hope this helps other.

Oh, the mom said it isn't quite like nut butter if you just eat it off the

spoon, so I don't know how it would taste as a baking replacement. She said it

tastes pretty much just the same on a sandwich and such though.

Just be careful, pre SCD I tries this product.. it was o long ago I don't

remember, but I think it may have traces of soy in it, and may have been

producted in a facilitiy that does nuts.
