Glossary

sunflower seed (noun)
The small, nutrient-packed seed harvested from the center of a sunflower, often eaten as a snack or blended into a creamy paste. During Eleven Madison Park's plant-based kitchen revolution, chefs transformed these humble seeds into a rich, decadent spread that perfectly replicated the luxurious mouthfeel of dairy butter. It's a delicious reminder of how creative cooking can turn simple plants into high-end treats!
