See What Our Customers Say About SunButter^®

I am so allergic to nuts it is not funny. I have almost died from the slightest of interaction with them. So I have to say it was with the greatest reluctance that I decided to try SunButter. I did and no reaction!!! Now I am totally hooked. I eat it every morning, sometimes just in a small container I take to work, without bread. I am not sure what is happening, but the Pick and Save, Piggly Wiggly and Super Value where I live do not stock it as of this week. What the heck is going on? I ordered it through the website, but am having a hard time believing I cannot just go pick it up. What is the deal here? This is simply the best product ever made for those of us with nut allergies (and my research has shown it to be many people). I have never met a single "nut allergy" person that does not go crazy for SunButter when I recommend it.

Love sunbutter! We were introduced to your product a few years ago after we discovered our daughter's food allergy to peanuts. We have come to like SunButter better than peanut butter in our household, and share it with our friends to get them hooked! We just recently found that our local Krogers store has started to carry SunButter again after temporarily not carrying it. I have zero negative input towards the product itself. My only concern for our family is the cost which limits our ability to purchase it on a regular basis, but we splurge about once a month! Thank you for helping us feed our daughter with a safe and tasty food!

I absolutely LOVE Sunbutter! I was looking for a lower-carb/high protein alternative to peanut butter and found it in Sunbutter. I first tried Sunbutter from one of the on-the-go packs; one taste and I was hooked. Thanks for such a healthy and delicious product!

I loved Jif, but love your SunBetter the most! I keep a 16oz jar in the frige and grab a tablespoon for my mid-afternoon protein pick-me-up. Sometimes I have SunButter on a Quaker Caramel Rice Cake for breakfast, too. I would love to see if anyone has created baking recipes with alternative flours, as I have developed gluten intolerance and can't eat wheat products anymore.

We LOVE SunButter. Prior to this, we were reduced to buying soybutter, which is awful. I only wish that you sold sunflower SEEDS as we have a difficult time finding ones that are safe for our son. Any suggestions on where to buy them?

Bernie Sweetland
Grand Rapids, MI

I'm not a fan of peanut butter - never have been. I was absolutely thrilled to find SunButter!! It's light, creamy, and fills me up just enough. My favorite way to eat it is on toast with organic fruit spread - for breakfast, a snack, or to tide me over for a while. The taste is fabulous! And I know my body appreciates the healthful benefits.I just love it. Thank you for making SunButter!

Carol Hatfield
Indianapolis, IN

We want to Thank you not only for a really delicious product but so much more importantly a safe product. Our 13yr old daughter had once been cleared of a severe peanut allergy at the end of second grade. She had never experineced anaphylaxis during those years. With that said, we had treated her as if the allergy still existed by not incorporating any peanut products as a part of her food options... Maybe a parents intuition. And now, she in the 7th grade, to our horror, this past christmas had accidentally ingested peanuts through a truffle. Her allergy had been lurking. She did go into anaphlaxis and now lives with an extreme threat to the allergy. There are so many people and companies that need to take a more serious respect and understaning for the dangers that be for all food allergy sufferers. Once again, Thank You Sincerely, Christi & Family.

My family loves your product! Truly delicious! Thank you for helping make our lives a little easier by catering to those with peanut allergies. I've been a peanut butter lover my whole life and had to give it up when we discovered our two daughters have a severe allergy to peanuts. I love Sunbutter and think it tastes even better than peanut butter! Your company gives me peace of mind by testing for traces of peanut protein. You have a loyal customer for life! THANK YOU!!

We just bought a jar of SunButter from our local kroger store and my wife and I love it. I have been doing almond butter but my wife likes sunflower butter better. Good job we quit peanuts after we found they are not a nut , they are a legume.

I am sure you hear this all the time, but I have to tell you how THRILLED I am to have found your product. I have a peanut and nut allergy that developed early in my 20's after an illness, and so growing up on peanut butter I have truly missed it~for 18 years. Well 2 weeks ago I found your product at my local grocery store and I have eaten 3 jars since. I am IN LOVE with your your crunchy and smooth, both are amazing. There have been all kinds of "Other" spreads, but this one is SO CLOSE to peanut butter I can't believe it. You have done an amazing job-so thank you so much. My daughters have for the first time in their lives (twins age 6 and 9 year old) have had their first experience with the closest thing to peanut butter in the world~SAFELY!! I have bought my local store out of your product, so I was glad to see there are other options for purchasing. Thank you for doing such a great job, and for creating such a great product. I am going to tell everyone that I know with peanut allergies, I know a ton. I hope you expand your Canadian Market. Your product should be a house hold name!! Thanks again, Jenn Crawford

I am a 26 year old guy who has been allergic to peanuts and all nuts since I was 8 years old. I just discovered SunButter and I really want to thank you guys for making it. To all that live in my household, they think it smells like peanut butter, and they say the taste is very close. I think it's awesome. I just had my first sun butter and jelly sandwich and it reminded me of being a kid and eating a pbandj. Thanks guys.

It is GREAT! I am thinking about replacing regular peanut butter (from Trader Joe's) with SunButter.

Kimberly Myers

I'm never going back to peanut butter again! I just tried your product because I was looking for almond butter and thought, "Hmmmm, I have always liked sunflower seeds; why not try SunButter." I'm so glad I did. It's absolutely delicious! Even though I'm not technically allergic to peanuts, peanut butter and peanuts upset my stomach. Whenever I eat this stuff, I feel just fine, and I like it even better than peanut butter. I can't wait to tell my friends to try it!

Lacy

SunButter is now being offered with the school lunches in little tubs. (I'm a teacher) It is very yummy. I want my kids to try it at home.

Lilly McLean
Rocklin, CA

went to the local organic store and found some almond butter, after finding that i did some research and came across sunbutter. since i am allergic to peanut butter this very much opens up the snacking door, because now i can have SB&J sandwiches and other delicious snacks that i have never been able to have before. even though it still tastes and smells like the peanut butter that i have so long feared it is still weird to be eating something that closely resembles it.

Fantastic product! My son's day camp provider is peanut/tree nut free, which could complicate morning lunch making enormously. I was thrilled to discover Sunbutter, which means I'm no longer tied to peanut butter for easy lunch fixings. Thank you!

Pamela Riney-Kehrberg
Ames, Iowa

First of all, I can't thank you enough for your peanut-free products. When our daughter was diagnosed with a peanut allergy 2 years ago, she was so upset to have to lose her peanut butter! I was determined to find SOMETHING to replace it, and I did - SUNBUTTER! She loves the taste, almost to the point of liking it BETTER than peanut butter. I have one question - or request .... what can I do to make the consistency a little thicker? I know that the oil and the solid separate during the shipping and storing, so I'm diligent about refrigerating the sunbutter once I receive it and stir it up really well. But sometimes, that's not enough. The consistency is still a little runny, and when sending in on crackers in my daughter's lunch, she'll say later that the Sunbutter "seeped" out the sides of the crackers, making it a little messy to eat. Is there something I can do to help fix this problem? Thanks for your assistance - - and again, thank you for your product. It REALLY did fill a void in our daughter's diet!

Hi, I would just like to say that my family has been buying sun butter for over three years now since we found out both of our boys have peanut allergies. As a family,we love the taste, but everyone that we have bought we have been unable to stir/get everything out of the jar. Tasty yes, unable to use the full product-no.

Samantha Trainer
Minnesota

I was diagnosed with multiple food allergies in my late 30's. i am now 62, and i have so missed peanut butter. i've tried the Natural, Natural Crunchy, and the Creamy. They sure do dress up rice crackers. I love the flavours, the textures, and prefer the products with the cane sugar. It's been a lon time, but i think that Sunbutter is much better than peanut butter. Thank you for enriching my last few decades.

Sandra Schettler

The rich flavor of SunButter far surpasses peanut butter and almond butter. Although, I just love eating it straight out of the jar, I hope that in the future, you can post more gluten free SunButter recipes.

Tamra Westberry

Our daughter is 10 years old and has life threatening reactions to peanuts and tree nuts. She has had food allergies since birth and has never eaten peanuts or tree nuts. A peanut challenge was done under a doctor’s care at Children’s Hospital. She did not tolerate them, the test was aborted, and an EPIPen is with us every second of the day. I stumbled upon the SunButter web site by accident a few weeks ago. I have never heard of it and contacted our local grocery to order it after I spoke with the allergy department at Children’s Hospital and got their OK. As my husband and I stood in the kitchen with car keys, phone, and EPIPen ready we gave our daughter the SunButter. Admittedly I was terrified, but she ate it with no reaction, for the first time in her life knew what “peanut” butter tasted like! Today the Sunbutter cookies were made and her reaction was priceless. She loved them! I can’t convey how happy I am for my child to be able to experience a “Sunbutter” and jelly sandwich, buckeyes, and anything else I can cook or create with this product! There is a jar at her grandmother’s house and 3 jars in mine! I am so grateful and appreciative to have this product! Thank you Sunbutter!!!!! We have a family of Sunbutter lovers now!

Tracy Carp

Awesome! Smells, tastes and looks like peanut butter - not as sweet as peanut butter but when added to Jelly you can't tell the difference. Everyone who has visited my house for the past two weeks has smelt it and seen it and many have tasted it. The best thing about Sunbutter is the smile that it's put on my sons face who has never been able to taste or smell peanut butter.

These are delicious!!! And the perfect size. If I buy the regular bottles I'll just go to town..good thing you make these now I can still enjoy and not worry about over indulging on beloved sunbutter!!! :)

I LOVE the Natural Crunch, Natural and the On-The-Go packs. Not only do I have a Gluten and Casein allergy, I have blood sugar issues, so these On-The-Go packs are excellent for getting my protein in a little package. :) Thank you so much for your products!

Kolya Lynne Smith
Boston, MA

Living with two little ones who are allergic to nuts, we eat SunButter all the time. We had never seen the on-the-go snack packages until my mother-in-law recently found and gave them to us. We are thrilled! Having had to beg and plead with TSA authorities to convince them of my need to bring a jar of sunflower nut butter on a recent flight (it's nearly impossible to find healthy, allergy-free options when traveling), we will carry these perfectly-sized packages on board our next flight. Thanks for making our lives so much easier!

Laura Garcia Olson

I got a couple of Snac Paks at Veg Fest back in April, but didn't try it until today. I just squeezed some onto a split banana. Wow! It was delicious! Makes a great low-sugar (no sugar?) dessert. I just started today to eliminate all dairy and wheat from my diet for awhile and see how I feel, and am trying to keep sugar to a minimum too. I will be going to Trader Joes tonight to see if I can find some there -- it said "private label" so I am hoping they only have one sunflower butter -- yours!

Marji Friedmann
Edmonds, WA

The on-the-go packs are an awesome idea. One problem with SunButter is that it LOOKS like peanut butter, so our peanut-allergic child is hesitant to bring it to school because people might THINK he is eating peanut butter and worry. Clearly labeled, individual serving packages would solve this issue for us.

Michelle
Minnesota

This product is a HIT! Think flavor, think convenience, think satisfaction. This sunflower seed spread comes in these convenient Squeeze Packs that could be a perfect snack, or even to make lunch at the office. Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of vitamin E and are so rich in nutrients they are the highest of any nut or seed. Watch the full review on Supermarket Guru!

It is great seeing protein alternatives being produced and enjoyed. I greatly enjoyed the snack pack as a student on the go. Thanks!

So thrilled to have come across this product! I saw your ad in Allergic Living Magazine. Thank you so much for recognizing the need for a product such as this-I cannot tell you how happy I am to have found a peanut alternative that my son can safely eat. Means so much to me. I am a fan!!! So when are we going to see your products on more shelves within Canada? I look forward to trying more SunButter products!

Angie
British Columbia, Canada

I tried SunButter once on a flight and thought it was AMAZING! When I found out my nephew was allergic to nuts, I started looking for it. Not much here in Canada yet :( but hopefully soon. Thankfully, I am travelling to the US and found a store along my driving route to get some.

Barbara

Surprisingly fantastic! I'm not allergic to peanuts, but I prefer sunbutter!

Brenda Tatro
Mannford, OK

Need Sunbutter in local stores. Had it in a Kroger 30 miles away. Requested it be sent to my local Kroger. They did it, but did not keep it on the shelf for long. They discontinued the item, so I bought it all at a cheap price, but cant get them to keep it on shelf. I have found one jar at Target, but they want over 8.00 dollars for one jar. I just cant find a cost effective way to keep it handy for my daughter. i have to pay over the price of another jar of sunbutter to get it shipped to me from your web site. I do it, but it certainly would help us all out i'm sure, if it could be found more easily and kept at a manageable price. Thanks, Christi Knight

You have changed my life!!! I am 39 years old and have always been deathly (literally) allergic to peanuts, peanut butter, and all tree nuts. Last night I made SunButter cookies.... my best friend thought I used peanut butter and that I had lost my mind!!! I ate a cookie - and didn't die!!!!!!! I just fed my children SunButter and jelly sandwiches for lunch!!! I feel like a regular person!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Heather Kadyk

My daughter was diagnosed with a severe peanut /tree nut allergy back in 1994. We've tried soy butter (gross!). A manager in our local school cafeteria suggested your product. They had received a sample to try and she said it was really good. My husband placed an order with you. It tastes better than peanut butter in my estimation! I've used it as a baking substitute as well. We will continue to use it!!! Only problem, can't find it in any grocery stores.

Jeanne Rush

When I became allergic to nuts I didn't think I was ever going to be able to enjoy the taste of peanut butter on toast again, but this tastes just like the brand of peanut butter I used to eat. Thanks, John

John LeClair
Northborough, Ma

My sister told me about this product and she said that this is the closest thing to peanut butter. Because I'm allergic to peanuts, I don't know what peanut butter taste like. All I know is that SunButter is delicious and creamy.

Karen

My son that is 13 years old has a peanut allergy that we have known about since he was 6 months old we have always had to be very careful when we buy anything in the store everything has to read for peanut and tree nut because i have a tree nut allergy so my son has to stay away from tree nuts also and eating out is a pain also because we have to so careful but he can never eat a dessert out even at a birthday party no cake so anything sweet has to be made at home. the last few months i have been buying sunflower seeds to snack on and my son has been asking me what does peanut butter taste like i told him kinda like the sunflower seeds taste like and that got me to thinking i wounder if i coukd make sunflower seed butter in the food processer and i was at the store and started look in the nut free gluten free department and could not find any sunbutter but the i went to isle that peanut butter was on and in the far corner was sunbutter i and my son was excited but he was scared to get it because it was by the peanut butter so i waited a week and bought some it was a very scary for him to taste of it at first so i told he to just hold it on his tounge for a few minutes so he liked it but was nervous i told him i would make him this candy that i have been making since i was young and his dad and brothers had always enjoyed at christmas that he had never got to try because it had peant butter as main ingredent so last night i made him some with your sunbutter and he loved it i told him now his world had opened up to endless desserts that once he could not have because of peanut butter but now can have subing sunbutter inplace of pb so i just wanted to thank you your product has opened a new door to may sons life with sweets thank you.

Really wish you could manufacture it without soy. Most kids and adults who are allergic to peanuts use this product. And soy is a huge allergen as well for many. If this was made in a facility without soy, I would get it put into my son's school. We love the sunbutter, but wish we could rest assured that soy contamination was not of any concern.

Lucy

I am a huge fan of peanut butter, but my friend suggested I try sunbutter for a change. It is amazing!!!!! I barely trust myself with a spoon and an open jar. Thank you for such a wonderful spread!!!

Sommer

Thank You! I developed an allergy to peanuts after having my second child. Thinking, I was doing the right thing by eliminating legumes from my diet (my 1st child had a severe allergy to legumes) I had a horrible reaction to peanut butter after reintroducing it. It is really frustrating to absolutely love peanut butter your whole life and then at 34 not be able to eat it! I have tried hazelnut butter, soy butter, almond butter, and even cashew butter but none of them tasting close to peanut butter and they were hard to deal with texture wise. Sun butter is my new best friend! Thanks for not processing it with peanuts! I love the taste, texture, and availability.

Terri Wilcox Burke

Delicious, trying to get our local store to carry it.

Love, love, love this! It's so tasty and I find myself reaching for the jar of this instead of peanut butter...and I'm a peanut butter junkie! I look forward to trying more of the Sunbutter products.

Ashley

I had the opportunity to try your SunButter last year, but could not find it anywhere. Recently found it at Whole Foods at Interbay..I saw the Natural Crunch and decided to buy it over your creamy. I was glad I did. It was just as good, if not better than your creamy. Thank you.

I have a gluten alergy and sometimes when I eat regular peanut butter it upsets my stomach. SunButter has never upset it and it just tastes GREAT!

Emily

I totally love sunbutter. My daughter is allergic to peanuts and apart from almond butter there are few alternatives here. I order this online from the USA and though it costs a lot to get it shipped its worth it. Have been trying to get uk supermarkets to ship it but not having much luck yet!

Gail Skellett

The whole family loves it and it is great as there is one child with a peanut alergy. Problem RCSS has stopped carrying it. Your product is the only true nut-free one we could find that wasn't priced too high.

Robert Leyland

I've fallen in love with your sunbutter. On our last trip to visit family in CA I gave jars to friends and family and they feel the same way. I just had to check this AM, we're going to be traveling in our motorhome for several months and I wanted to be sure that we could find Sunbutter.

Sharon
North Dakota & on the road

I first heard of Sunbutter from an online friend in Canada, but I didn't go check it out immediately. Then, just the other week, I saw it and remembered! So I bought one without looking - Natural Crunch (and I don't like Crunchy). But this was a pleasant surprise, the crunch was not hard on my teeth, rather it was delicate. I'm not allergic to peanuts, someone in my family is. So this is the BEST answer to wanting something to spread on bread. (Forget the bread.... I'll eat it right out of the jar it's THAT GOOD!

Discovered it while living in NYC and LOVE IT!! So nice to have an alternative to peanut butter. So relieved it is available in Canada too.

I just wanted to let you know how yummy your products are. We first tried the sunbutter on an Alaska Airlines flight... and when we returned home, we bought a jar on our first trip to the store! My daughter has a tree nut allergy, and this is a great way for her to have a yummy snack. I also love using sun butter in the place of peanut butter in my recipes. Thanks for a great product!

I love the Omega-3 version with the flaxseeds. I used to pour ground flaxseeds on top of my toast with regular sunbutter. Now the work is done for me! Thanks. I wish you'd sell this in the pails.

Kelly

I love this product, but it would be nice if you offered an organic version, and perhaps one without the added cane juice.

Lauren

Thanks to Sunbutter, after 23 years, I was able to have my first Sunbutter and Fluff sandwich! I have tried soynut butter in the past and hated the gritty texture and taste. Sunbutter is great!

Lindsey

I just ordered your trail mix, my son loves them! I couldn't tell if they still had the little chocolate piece in the mix. Just wondering. We are going to try the new Omega-3 and can give you our thoughts after it arrives. My son loves Sunbutter so if it tastes the same it will be a hit. Thanks for providing a product that's safe for my son and tasty.

Victoria Rogers

I am so thankful for the Sunbutter Spread in the 5 pound pails. Would it be possible that you could have an online coupon for the 5 pound pails? It's always nice to get a discount on things, even 5 pound pails of Sunbutter. Have a great day and evening!
