Sunbutter Now a Daily Staple

We have been buying Sunbutter regularly because both my husband and I love to eat it; and a few months ago, my son asked to try it again. He said that he loves it, and he really meant it this time.

Every day, he wants a Sunbutter and jam sandwich. He also often asks for a snack of Sunbutter on crackers or cookies.

A five-pound tub of it is starting to look like a good idea.

(Most of) Our Family Loves SunButter

My husband and I are big fans of SunButter. We think it’s delicious, and I like the fact that it’s got plenty of Vitamin E, iron, protein, and fibre. 

Our nut-allergic son was so excited about eating it when we first bought it that he wanted to eat it in the car. I told him that he had to wait until we got home, and he chanted “I love it, I love it, I love it!” from his car seat in excited anticipation of trying a new treat. Once in the kitchen, I spread a thin layer on his favourite kind of cracker. He ate it, small bite by small bite while whispering “I love it, I love it, I love it” more and more quietly. When he’d eaten the whole thing, I asked him if he wanted some more, and he said, “No… I love it …. I love it.” I said, “You don’t like it, do you? It’s okay if you don’t.” “No, I don’t like it,” he replied. He still mumbled “I love it” under his breath a couple more times as if he was desperately trying to convince himself he did. 

So, he doesn’t like it. I’ve heard the same thing from other parents of peanut-allergic children — many of these children do not like peanut butter substitutes. Maybe it’s a natural defense mechanism. I think SunButter is so much like peanut butter that I would have believed it was if I didn’t have the jar in front of me. So maybe it would be confusing to our son to know that SunButter is safe for him to eat, whereas something that appears to be identical to it could make him very sick.

Nevertheless, we are happy to have SunButter in our house so those who like it can partake while our son remains safe if he comes in contact with it. 

Hilton Soy Foods Announces SoyButter – Peanut Butter Alternative

It’s always great to hear of another peanut butter alternative. As a member of a family that has someone with an allergy to peanuts and nuts, and not being allergic myself, I sometimes have a yearning for the old stuff. I never partake mind you, but after finding Sunbutter and now knowing there is this, the options are growing!.

Manufacturers now have a ‘same taste’ one to one substitute they can use to replace both peanuts and peanut butter in virtually any kind of product. Never before has there been a product that tastes, smells, and looks just like peanut butter—until now, from Hilton Soy Foods.

There is a twofold crisis now occurring in millions of homes, schools and factories across the country. Due to the growing prevalence of kids with severe allergic reactions to peanuts, schools are now banning our kids from bringing any peanut or peanut butter products to school. In addition, everyone now has tremendous food safety quality concerns and negative perceptions resulting from the recent peanut salmonella problems. Hilton’s innovative peanut butter-like, Omega3 SoyButter can now solve both crises.

After four years of development, Hilton Soy Foods has created a safe and healthy solution for manufacturers who want to help keep kids and schools safe and free of peanut allergies.  In addition, with Hilton’s Omega3 SoyButter and the various granulations of Toasted Soy Ingredients available, manufacturers can now make a variety of innovative products with a p-nutty taste that everyone can feel safe in enjoying.
