    1. Try raw sunflower seed “sour cream.” Google it and you’ll find lots of good recipes. It’s simple. Very veganish looks like a good recipe that explains the details.

  7. I have trouble finding plain non-dairy yogurt where I live. Would this sour cream make a substitute for yogurt in recipes?
