Mixed Up makes a variety of nut spreads and set out to offer something that more people could enjoy, and as a result, created its first-ever seed butter. This six-ingredient Everyday Seed Butter in Sunflower Pepita Crunch is an indulgent one that's said to have a cookie-like flavor thanks to its creamy sunflower seed base, pepitas, unrefined coconut sugar, vanilla extract, cacao butter and sea salt.
This rich, non-GMO, vegan, dairy-free and nut-free spread is made without refined sugars and oils, as well as palm oil, plus it's a source of healthy fats with six grams of protein per serving.
This decadent, seed-based spread was recently exhibited by Mixed Up at the 2023 Summer Fancy Food Show, indicating the growing demand for free-from, allergy-friendly spreads with an indulgent twist.
