About Sunflower seed paste

Sunflower seed paste is made by grinding sunflower seeds into a thick, spreadable mixture. It is usually tan to brown, with a smooth or slightly coarse texture and a rich, nutty flavour that reflects the seeds and any roasting.

It can be used as a spread, stirred into sauces, or included in baking and other recipes. Products may be made from raw or roasted seeds and may be smooth or crunchy; some include added oil, salt, or sweetener, while others contain only ground seeds.
