Mixed seed

Mixed seeds are a blend of different seeds that are commonly used in cooking and baking. These seeds come from various plants such as sunflowers, pumpkin, flax, sesame, and chia. Mixed seeds are rich in nutrients like healthy fats, protein, fibre, and vitamins, making them a popular choice for adding a nutritional boost to dishes.

To produce mixed seeds, the individual seeds are cleaned, mixed together in the desired proportions, and then packaged for sale. Some mixed seed blends may also be toasted or roasted to enhance their flavour and crunchiness. The seeds can be used whole or ground, depending on the recipe, and are often sprinkled on top of salads, yoghurt, or incorporated into bread and muffin recipes.

You can find mixed seeds listed as an ingredient on food labels due to their added nutritional value and texture. They can enhance the flavour and appearance of dishes while providing a crunchy texture. Mixed seeds are commonly found in products such as granola bars, multigrain bread, seed crackers, and trail mix. Including mixed seeds in your diet can be a tasty way to incorporate essential nutrients into your meals.
