Simply Roundy's Organic Sunflower Seed Butter — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Simply Roundy's Organic Sunflower Seed Butter by Simply Roundy's Organic OKAY — score 60/90.

A short, clean four-ingredient seed butter built on roasted sunflower seeds, but sugar is the second ingredient, so it lands at OKAY rather than higher.

Why this verdict

• Only four ingredients, no emulsifiers, artificial flavors or stabilizers
• Sunflower seeds deliver real protein, vitamin E and healthy unsaturated fats
• Added cane sugar is the second ingredient, ahead of the oil
• Refined sunflower oil adds calories without much benefit

Ingredients (4)

• Dry Roasted Organic Sunflower Seeds (safe) — Whole seed base rich in protein, vitamin E, magnesium and unsaturated fats.
• organic cane sugar (moderate) — Added sugar, the #2 ingredient. Organic or not, it's still free sugar that spikes blood glucose and adds empty calories.
• organic sunflower oil (moderate) — Refined oil that adds extra calories and omega-6 fat on top of the seeds' own oils.
• Salt (moderate) — Ready meals tend to run salt-heavy; watch the sodium.
