Seed Expertise for the Modern Biscuit Industry
Seed Selection Tailored to Biscuit Manufacturing
Flanquart helps biscuit manufacturers select the best seeds for their specific applications. Our knowledge of seed varieties, farming practices, and markets ensures a safe and traceable supply for your products.
Our wide product range enables unique and flavorful seed combinations for everything from artisan cookies to large-scale production runs. Our facilities are designed for strict allergen control—a crucial criterion for today’s manufacturers.
We tailor solutions to all biscuit types, from breakfast items to premium assortments.
Mastery of Roasting for Crunch & Flavor
We perform multiple transformations in-house, from decontamination to variable-intensity roasting. These thermal treatments enhance the crispness and reveal rich, rounded flavor profiles.
Whole or crushed, toasted seeds are ideal for both soft and crunchy biscuits. Sunflower, sesame, buckwheat, pumpkin, quinoa… many seeds are caramelized or salted in our facilities.
Our process expertise allows manufacturers to offer distinctive textures and flavors—from traditional biscuits to innovative creations.
Easy-to-Integrate Ingredients for Biscuit Doughs
We offer seeds, flours, and purées tailored to innovate or optimize biscuit formulations. Crushed seeds with adjustable granulation are ideal for inclusions.
Our seed flours help reduce additives and enable allergen-free formulations. Our seed purées are excellent for creating innovative fillings—cost-effective and sustainable.
This technical versatility allows easy integration across all manufacturing methods—from artisan baking to automated industrial lines.
A Complete Range of Seeds for Biscuit Applications
Classic & On-Trend Seeds
Our extensive catalog includes many options for topping and inclusion in biscuit manufacturing. Oilseeds, pseudo-cereals, and flakes are processed in-house to your specifications.
Seeds can be heat-treated to meet microbiological standards. Toasted, caramelized, or salted—individually or in blends—our processed seeds add indulgence and depth to your recipes.
Chia, yellow and brown flax, hemp, pumpkin, sunflower, quinoa, amaranth, poppy, millet… we offer numerous healthy and flavorful options. Seeds are crushed to calibrated nibs for your specific application.
Signature Blends & Granola Inclusions
Our experts help create exclusive seed blends tailored to your needs—combining flakes, dried fruits, and nuts when required. We also produce granolas—cooked and agglomerated seed clusters—low in sugar and full of crunch.
Available in cubes, bars, or crumbles, these granolas enhance clean-label and breakfast biscuit lines. All blending can be done in allergen-safe environments.
Seed Flours: Innovative & Allergen-Free Formulations
We produce seed flours from millet, amaranth, sunflower, pumpkin, chia, and flax. These flours enable allergen-free and clean-label recipes.
Flax and chia flours offer techno-functional properties to replace certain additives. Sunflower and pumpkin powders can partially or fully replace almond, hazelnut, or pistachio flours.
This approach is ideal for large-scale biscuit production—combining allergen control with optimized recipe costs.
Seed Purées: Cost-Effective & Sustainable Alternatives
Our oilseed purées are innovative alternatives to nut purées in biscuit applications. Made from 100% seeds, they replace hazelnut, almond, pistachio, or cashew pastes in fillings and bases.
They also substitute vegetable oils. Our hemp, sunflower, and pumpkin purées are crafted in-house using precise, gentle methods.
These purées are more cost-efficient than traditional nut-based products and are far more sustainable—especially in terms of water use. This approach meets the environmental expectations of today’s consumers.

Seed Applications in Biscuit Manufacturing
✔ Savory Crackers & Snack Biscuits
Seeds are ideal for adding texture and flavor to savory biscuits. Incorporated in dough or used as topping, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, and flax deliver crunch, toasted notes, and nutrition.
Toasted or caramelized in-house, they add gourmet appeal and visual differentiation. Rich in unsaturated fats and fiber, they meet growing consumer demand for healthy, innovative snacks.
Flanquart seed purées are also perfect taste enhancers for savory bases—vegan, allergen-free alternatives to nut pastes.
They improve dough viscosity and enhance Nutri-Score ratings. Sesame, hemp, sunflower, pumpkin, and chia provide clean-label options with high fiber and good fats.
✔ Sweet Biscuits & Gourmet Shortbreads
Seeds bring a new crunch and subtle flavor profile to sweet biscuit recipes. Caramelized pumpkin or sunflower seeds, and flax nibs create flavorful inclusions with strong sensory appeal.
Adjustable granulation ensures smooth integration into shortcrust or sablé doughs. Flanquart also transforms seeds into creamy purées—ideal for vegan, clean-label fillings.
These ingredients allow manufacturers to combine indulgence with modern nutritional demands—perfect for premium and single-serve formats.
✔ Healthy Biscuits & Nutrition-Forward Ranges
Seeds offer natural and nutritious value in biscuit applications. Packed with plant proteins, omega-3s, fiber, and minerals, they’re ideal for gluten-free, vegan, or high-protein lines.
We provide flours from chia, flax, sunflower, and amaranth, plus purées that replace traditional fats or allergens.
These solutions ensure functional processing, shelf stability, and great taste—fitting for both organic and premium artisanal production.
