Allergic to nuts or simply want to add a little variety to your diet? Blended sunflower seeds create a creamy and nutty spread, similar to nut butters, but without the … nuts!

Brazil nuts are outrageously high in selenium, in fact, there’s more than 300 times the amount of selenium in one ounce of Brazil nuts compared to one ounce of peanuts. We’ve blended in some creamy cashew butter to help balance out that selenium with other essential nutrients like magnesium and zinc.
