How to Use Seed Butter

New to seed butter?
Think nut butter, just made from sunflower seeds.
Spread it, spoon it, or pair it with simple snacks.
There’s no right or wrong here. Start simple.

Original

Flavor profile: mild, savory, slightly nutty

Our most versatile seed butter.
Works well in both sweet and savory foods.

Try it with:

  • Apple slices

  • Dark chocolate

  • Oatmeal (with a touch of honey!)

Chocolate Sea Salt

Cinnamon Raisin

Flavor profile: rich cocoa, lightly salted, with a subtle crunch

A darker, more grown-up chocolate spread.
Rich cocoa, a hint of sea salt, and just enough sweetness to satisfy a chocolate craving.

Try it with:

  • Dates

  • Raspberries and strawberries

  • Bananas

  • Rice cakes

Cardamom Bun

Flavor profile: warm cinnamon, naturally sweet raisins

Comforting and familiar.
Naturally sweet from raisins with gentle cinnamon warmth, this one is especially easy to enjoy straight from the jar.

Try it with:

  • Rice cakes

  • Skyr (or any yogurt)

  • Pears

  • Banana slices

Flavor profile: spiced and cozy cardamom

Inspired by Scandinavian cardamom buns.
Warm, gently spiced, and easy to enjoy as a simple snack.

Try it with:

  • Slice of sourdough (toasted!)

  • Crackers

  • Dried apricots (or any dried fruit)

  • Apple slices

This cheatsheet is simply a starting point. Feel free to mix and match.
Any of the pairings above work across all of our seed butters.
For example, Chocolate Sea Salt is just as good with fruit as it is on toast.

Beyond snacks, seed butter can also be used in baking, smoothies, and simple dressings. Original works best for savory uses.
