This is a great little spread/sour cream that is quick to make. It is great on sandwiches, toast, burgers, as a dip with crackers/vege sticks, on pizzas, in soups, on nachos and anywhere you would use sour cream! The main ingredient is sunflower seeds – which are one of the most inexpensive seeds available. Make sure they are fresh or the dip may have a bitter taste – where you may have to add a little honey to offset it. You can also add other ingredients like sundried tomatoes or roasted peppers to this sour cream. Feel free to experiment.
