Sunflower Seed Butter-Health Food

Chances are that you, or someone you know, is allergic to some kind of food.  While there are many, many people who are allergic to different foods, you might be surprised to know that about three million Americans alone are allergic to one specific food: peanuts.  You might not realize it, unless you are one of the people allergic to peanuts, that they are in so many of the foods that we eat on a daily basis.  So, you also might not realize what it is like to live with this kind of allergy.  Well, thanks to some health food scientists, there is something new on the market that can help you to once again enjoy a good old peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  This new product is sunflower seed butter. 

Sunflower seed butter has been on the market for about four years now, and can help people who suffer from peanut allergies to enjoy more of the foods that they have had to shun.  Even school are getting in on the act, some districts around the country are now offering sunflower seed butter as an alternative to peanut butter for their students who have peanut allergies.

While sunflower seed butter is still newer, usually you will have to go to a health food store to buy it.  But, this is not always bad.  Most health food stores who carry this new product will also carry the several varieties that you can buy it in, like creamy, crunchy, and even honey flavors.  This variety can also help you to enjoy more of the foods that you have been missing because of peanut related allergies, like celery and peanut butter, peanut butter and jelly, and of course, peanut butter cookies.

So, if you are, or know someone who is, allergic to peanuts, head on down to your local health food store and pick up some sunflower seed butter to give you a taste of what you have been missing!
