Excess Gut Fungi Linked To Severe COVID-19 Infection: Study Says They Cause Lasting Immune Changes Researchers identified that an abundance of fungi in the gut, particularly strains of Candida albicans yeast, could trigger an increase in immune cells, which could worsen lung damage. As with all nut and seed butter recipes, the process for making this delicious homemade sunflower is ridiculously simple. Keeping reading for the roasted seed method followed by the sprouted method. Step 1: Roast the sunflower seeds
As a dietitian one of my favorite recommendations to clients are Perfect Bars. I love that they have a whopping 15 grams of protein, some fiber (4 grams) and tons of healthy fats. All that is to say… they’re actually filling! First assemble your ingredients. You’ll need unsalted, shelled, plain-old sunflower seeds. You’ll also need some salt, sugar (or honey/agave/whatever sweetener you like), and some olive oil. That’s it. For raw sunflower seed butter: you’ll likely need to add a little additional oil, unfortunately. Roasting really helps the oils to release in the seeds and without that step, these seeds will either take a LOT longer to process or simply won’t move past a certain stage unless a little oil is added to help move the process along. I’ve also found that raw sunflower butter is usually slightly more bitter in flavor, too. Pip & Nut Peanut Butter is available in two varieties, smooth peanut butter and crunchy and which one you choose depends on which texture you prefer. Crunchy peanut butter may have a slightly higher fibre content but both varieties are very nutritional so you can’t make a bad choice. Once ready, enjoy the seed butter as a spread, dip, alternative to nut butter, and more! Keep reading for all my top recommendations. Honestly, it’s an ingredient that I return to time and time again. So much so that I now buy sunflower seeds in bulk (and store them in the freezer)!This delicious homemade sunflower seed butter recipe is made using only ONE ingredient (no added oil or sugar necessary but optional) and is gluten-free, sugar-free, nut-free, dairy-free, low FODMAP, Paleo, Keto, and more! This post also contains the health benefits of sunflower seeds, sunbutter flavor options, and tons of recommended uses!
You can then use a dehydrator at 104ºF/40ºC for 10-12 hours, or until the seeds are completely dry (if you want to make raw sunflower butter). Alternatively, roast them in the oven at a low temperature (until dry) – then increase the heat to roast them if preferred. This process can take as little as 2 minutes, 15 minutes, or even 30+ depending on your machine (for me, it takes 12-15 minutes for the super smooth sunflower butter I end up with). I’ve never had Sunbutter before but had tons of sunflower seeds and would LOVE to get away from PeanutButter and get into something I know the entire ingredient content of…. so here goes my first experience….If you need to use oil : Make sure to use neutral oil like coconut oil, mild olive oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, etc. Read: Which Nut Butter Is Healthiest?
