Sub sunflower seeds for nuts?

I read in one or two recipes subbing sunflower seeds for nuts. Are there only certain recipes you can do that for? I am new to raw and just want to get know what options there could be. Thanks.

  • Most of the time it is working for me, but I don’t know anything gerneral about it, because I love sunflowerseeds. Maybe in some recipes where colour is important eg whipped cream, you better use some nuts, which are white.

  • I find when I make pate or dips using sunflower seeds that it turns brown quickly,anyone else experience this and if so any way to prevent it?

    Yes,I sub. sunseeds often for my pates,I usually save nuts for salads.

  • mham, sprinkle lemon juice over it!

  • on top,when I put it away in the fridge? Because, many ofmy recipes inlude the lemon juice. Great idea,thanks!
    I’m eating a lot of seeds lately,really love my pumpkin seeds!

  • I actually mix 3/4 sunnies to 1/4 punkies for most of my pates, no matter what the recipe calls for. Sometimes I’ll add some sesame’s too. I also squirt a lemon wedge on top to avoid the brown-ness. It is just oxidation, it won’t hurt it, just stir it up.
