Our BVP Ingredient Know-How
Expert Selection of Food-Grade Seeds
With 30 years of experience in seed trading, Flanquart sources raw materials with in-depth knowledge of cultivation methods and food safety standards.
Many of our key products are supplied by long-standing partners and a network of French farmers growing exclusively for Flanquart. Our sales team provides tailored support based on your origin, nutritional and sanitary requirements—while optimizing cost-efficiency.
This partnership-driven model enables us to offer solutions aligned with the latest French market trends and the stringent needs of the BVP industry.
Sorting, Cleaning & Dehulling
We directly receive seed batches from our network of French growers. Millet, flax, and poppy seeds are cleaned, dehulled, and sorted at our production site.
Harvested lots are received promptly to ensure the highest purity before processing. This method guarantees full traceability from the field to the final product delivered to our customers.
Our secure technical storage process maintains optimal seed quality prior to transformation.
Advanced Processing Capabilities
Our 7,000 m² production site is equipped with dedicated workshops and separate blending lines to comply with allergen management protocols.
We offer thermal processing for decontamination, roasting, flake reduction, flour and purée production, and more.
Sunflower, sesame, buckwheat, pumpkin, quinoa… a wide range of seeds are caramelized or salted in-house using proven methods.
Clean Label Manufacturing & Certified Quality
Flanquart focuses on natural, simple processes. We do not use extraction methods that degrade the nutritional profile of the seeds. No additives are used in our formulations.
Many of our ingredients help clients remove additives from their own recipes—responding to today’s clean label and natural consumption trends.
Aligned with our FSSC 22000 certification, Flanquart fosters a strong Food Safety Culture across all teams. Our quality control and product tracking are recognized by top industrial players.
A Complete Range of BVP Ingredients Tailored to Your Business

Our extensive catalog offers diverse topping and inclusion options for BVP manufacturers. Oilseeds, pseudo-cereals, and flakes are processed to your specifications.
Seeds can undergo thermal treatment to meet microbiological requirements. Roasted, caramelized, or salted—whether individually or in custom blends—our crafted seeds are ideal for signature recipes.
This variety enables bakers and pastry chefs to create distinctive products aligned with modern market trends.
