Sunflower kernel Sunflower kernel, flavorful and nutritious, is a cost-efficient way to add taste, texture and eye appeal to a variety of baked goods and snack food selections. For the food manufacturer, kernels require no prep, such as chopping, are shelf-stable, and are not a major allergen. For the consumer, they are an important source of protein, fiber, lipids, minerals and vitamins. With its subtle nutty flavor, the crisp, crunchy sunflower kernel brings distinction to any formulation. Custom flavoring available. Roasted or unroasted. U.S. Number One – Medium size; well suited as an ingredient or topping. Non-GMO. Premium – Largest confection kernel; better for topping applications. Non-GMO. Bakery – Small in size; well suited as an ingredient. Non-GMO.

They are high in protein, naturally low in carbohydrates and are the best whole-grain source of Vitamin E available.

Return to top Flax Health-conscious consumers find flax a nutrition-packed ingredient, rich in essential omega-3 fatty acid, Vitamin E, dietary fiber and protein, but low in carbohydrates. Gluten-free, flax is a particularly good source of a variety of antioxidants and minerals. Food companies find flax a healthful choice for both taste and performance in baked goods and dry mixes. It can extend shelf life, and improve both volume and texture in finished products. With a nutty flavor and unique shape, flax is an attractive and tasty topping choice as well. Brown or golden flax– Both varieties come in whole seed or milled; unroasted. Non-GMO. Return to top Millet Millet, higher in protein than rice, corn or oats, is an excellent source of fiber, vitamins and minerals, particularly iron. The nutrition-focused consumer appreciates the phytochemicals in millet that may lower cholesterol and reduce cancer risk. Food companies appreciate millet’s diversity as an ingredient in cereals, breads, soups and stuffing mixes. With a mild nut-like flavor, it can be popped like corn or puffed for breakfast cereal. Millet flour is often used as a partial substitute for wheat flour. It is gluten-free and considered one of the least allergenic and most digestible grains available. Hulled millet – Ready to use; non-GMO. Millet flour – Ready for baking applications. Non-GMO. Return to top Buckwheat Lightly flavored and nutritious, buckwheat is useful in a range of baked products. It is also added to cereal, soup or pancake mixes for added nutrition and texture. Gluten-free, buckwheat makes a good wheat flour substitute. Its efficiency in commercial baking is supplemented by the nutritional value it brings every recipe. Buckwheat is rich in insoluble fiber and cholesterol-lowering antioxidants. Buckwheat groats, whole – Unroasted; non-GMO. Buckwheat flour – Ready to use; non-GMO. Return to top Pumpkin For a refreshing and unique choice, pumpkin seeds bring a distinct flavor to any snack food mixture. This rich, almost peanuty taste can also stand alone as its own snacking selection, with or without salting and roasting. Bonus for the snack-food consumer, of course, is that pumpkin seeds are naturally nutritious. Packed with protein, fiber, iron, minerals and amino acids, they are also a good source of calcium and linolenic acid – a heart-healthy substance. Pumpkin seeds – In shell and salted; non-GMO. Return to top Soybean Also a healthy ingredient choice, the soybean has no cholesterol, but is high in fiber, iron and isoflavones. Health-conscious consumers have embraced the salted, roasted soybean as a smart snack choice and food companies have responded with a full range of flavored variations, from spicy barbecue to honey coated. Versatile in food manufacturing, the soybean is the only common plant food that contains complete proteins. Soybeans – Roasted or unroasted; custom flavoring available.
