Frequently Asked Questions

SunnyB is a premium, small-batch sunflower seed spread proudly crafted in Canterbury, New Zealand. We slow-roast whole seeds for a rich, smooth flavour. It is a delicious, nutrient-dense alternative to peanut and tree nut spreads. School Safe: Perfect for lunchboxes and allergy-conscious homes. Trusted Ingredients: Our suppliers are carefully selected to ensure the highest-quality ingredients from strictly nut- and gluten-free supply chains.

SunnyB has a remarkably similar creamy texture and rich, savoury satisfaction to peanut butter, but with its own unique, deeply roasted sunflower seed flavour profile. Many families find it is the closest and most satisfying direct substitute for traditional nut spreads.

SunnyB is delicious on toast, sandwiches, wraps, crackers, apple slices, and celery. You can also add it to smoothies, oats, baking, sauces, and lunchbox snacks.

Introducing a new food to a picky eater can be a challenge, especially when swapping out a familiar favourite for a school-safe alternative. Because pure sunflower seed butter has a distinct, deep, nutty profile, children's sensitive taste buds might notice the difference right away. Here are three tested strategies to help your little ones fall in love with SunnyB! 1. The "Half-and-Half" Transition If your household is transitioning away from peanut butter or tree nut spreads due to school allergy policies, don’t make the switch overnight. Mix them together: Start by mixing 75% of their old favourite spread with 25% SunnyB. Gradually shift the ratio: Over a week or two, slowly increase the amount of SunnyB while reducing the old spread until they are happily eating 100% seed butter. 2. Pair It with Natural Sweetness Children are naturally drawn to sweet flavours, which instantly balance out the rich, earthy notes of natural sunflower seeds. Classic pairings: Spread SunnyB on toast and top it with sliced bananas, fresh strawberries, or a drizzle of honey. The safe swap: Use it in a classic "SB&J" (SunnyB and Jam) or "SB&H" (SunnyB and Honey) sandwich. The added sweetness completely rounds out the spread's flavour profile. 3. Make It a Fun Dip Kids love interactive meals! Lean into SunnyB's fun texture by turning it into a snack-time dip. Slice and dip: Serve a small bowl of SunnyB alongside crisp apple slices, celery sticks, or pretzel twists. Adding a few colourful sprinkles makes it more fun! The "Ants on a Log" trick: Fill celery sticks with SunnyB and line up raisins along the top. It’s a familiar, playful snack that takes the pressure off trying a "new" food.
