I know they both have alot of O6, but I LOVE either of these as a treat with a banana. So which is better nutritionally?

	You could mix with a good coconut oil to alter the ratio somewhat. – Terry Jun 28 2011 at 13:48
	Maybe someone else will jump in with the stats on omega 6's or vitamin E. Personally, I make my own almond butter and sometimes add in a bit of coconut oil to make it extra creamy - it's delicious too. I've also tried pumpkin seed butter, which is tasty and a good source of magnesium. – smartcookie Jun 28 2011 at 17:28

I love the taste of almond butter so much more, but otherwise they seem very similar. I woul limit both in favor of munching on real food.

... it looks like sunflower seed butter has more MUFAs than almond butter.

You're probably really splitting hairs at this point, but sunflower seed butter might win out by a margin.

... of course, both are undoubtedly roasted, which really begs the question how rancid the PUFAs have become in either.

Almond butter vs. sun butter: which more nutritious?
