Hazelnuts Sesame and Quinoa

Today, we’re spotlighting three incredible superfoods—hazelnuts, sesame, and quinoa. Each of these nutrient-rich ingredients are known for their exceptional taste, versatility and potential benefits, making them valuable additions to your product lines.

Hazelnuts are more than just a delicious snack—they are known for being packed with essential healthy fats. They contain vitamin E and fibre, which are believed to support heart health, brain function and overall well-being. Their naturally sweet, buttery flavour makes them a perfect ingredient in everything from premium confectionery and dairy alternatives to wholesome baked goods and plant-based spreads.

Hazelnuts are a standout for consumers, as a source of monounsaturated fats, often associated with heart health, as well as containing antioxidants, which may help combat oxidative stress. For manufacturers, they are a versatile ingredient for plant-based and functional food applications.

The tiny but mighty sesame seed has been a staple in global cuisine for centuries, offering an unmatched nutty flavour and an impressive nutritional profile. These tiny seeds are known for being rich in essential minerals, which may contribute to bone health and immune function. Sesame is widely used in tahini, bakery products, plant-based protein bars, and seasoning blends. The nutty flavour of sesame and association with trending Asian cuisines, makes it the perfect accompaniment to the fiery, hot and peppery heat trend dominating the global food scene.

Quinoa is not new to consumers - an ancient grain that has gained the attention of modern consumers. Quinoa is considered a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids - a rarity among plant-based foods. A complete protein with all essential amino acids, quinoa was originally cultivated in South America, and has gained global recognition as a superfood, often praised for its protein content, gluten-free nature, and adaptability in both sweet and savoury dishes. It’s an ideal ingredient for salads, breakfast bowls and alternative grains to the traditional wheat.
