Never heard of it. Just picked up my packet for tomorrow's 5K, and voila, there's sunflower seed spread in it. Anyone ever try it?

Is it ground sunflower seeds, or oil? I love sunflower seeds...I'll bet that's kinda tasty. That sounds like something that would be good on a Wheat Thin cracker.

Dunno. I picked up my packet for tomorrow's marathon in Utah... voila here too! First time. It feels very squeezy.
Best Present Ever
it's like peanut butter but with sunflower seeds, isn't it?
My packet feels a lot more squeezy than peanut butter.
HOWEVER. Packet pickup for this race was outside and it is 80. Maybe it isn't so squeezy all the time.
The fact that it is called "Sunflower seed SPREAD" is a bit worrisome.
Let's check out dem ingrediments:
sunflower seed (singular)
dehydrated cane juice (wait... dehydrated juice?)
salt
natural mixed tocopherols to preserve freshness
Made on equipment that processes soy. (emphasis their's)

Now I'm gonna have to look for this...so does it taste like sunflower seeds, or does that cane syrup make it sweet?
Really? I first tried sunflower butter in 1977.
I wasn't a fan. But, I think I had it straight out of the packet. Maybe it would have tasted better with something else. Like on french toast with syrup.

My kids' daycare is a no peanuts/no nuts zone, and they are both vegetarian. I could buy stock in sunflower seed butter. I avoid the kind with cane juice (read:sugar) in it.
So, real question. Dehydrated cane juice... um, that would be specifically sugar, no? I thought that wording was especially goofy.
My package states in tiny letters that it contains NO peanuts. yay for that.
Dehydrated cane juice. How Orwellian.
not bad for mile 25
Look for dehydrated water at your local running store.

It should be available in either capsule or powdered form, and will most likely be found near the the solar powered head lamps...
