For the holidays, 88 Acres released a trio of limited-edition seed butter spreads that put a festive twist on pumpkin seed butter and sunflower seed butter, which are rapidly becoming popular nut-free spread alternatives on their own. The limited-edition winter products include seasonally appropriate flavors like Dark Chocolate Peppermint Sunflower Seed Butter, Gingerbread Sunflower Seed Butter and Orange Cardamom Pumpkin Seed Butter, each of which can be purchased individually or as a gift-ready set with included recipe cards.
According to the brand, the nourishing new seed butter spreads were created to capture a "'nostalgic New England Winter' feeling" and provide consumers with a fun way to enhance toast breakfasts, as well as their holiday cooking and baking endeavors.
All of the vegan-friendly winter seed butter products are prepared with organic ingredients and are free from additives or preservatives.
