Our Seed and Ingredient Ranges for Caterers
Natural and Processed Seeds (Over 200 References)
Our extensive catalogue offers numerous topping and inclusion possibilities for a wide range of catering recipes.
Oilseeds, pseudo-cereals and flakes are processed in our workshops according to your specifications.
Seeds may undergo thermal treatment to meet microbiological standards. Toasted, caramelised, or salted — individually or in blends — our processed seeds are ideal for signature recipes.
Oilseed Purées for Plant-Based Creations
Our oilseed purées are crafted in-house using controlled techniques.
These innovative ingredients provide techno-functional properties that can replace certain additives.
Seed purées offer cost-effective alternatives to nuts for original and flavourful recipes. They can substitute vegetable oils, improving Nutri-Score thanks to added protein and fibre content.
Labelling remains 100% seed-based, meeting clean-label market expectations.

These innovative solutions meet current industry standards for efficiency and naturalness..
Granola and Custom Blends
Drawing on our sourcing expertise, Flanquart has developed granolas — baked and agglomerated seed blends.
These granolas are made with healthy, low-sugar ingredients. Available in cubes, bars, or crumbled form, they are crunchy and can be seasoned to suit your final product, whether for salads, snacks or soups.
As seed-blend specialists, our teams help you create your exclusive mix.
Combinations may include cereal flakes, pseudo-cereals and oilseeds — natural, toasted, caramelised, or salted.
Our allergen-free blending line meets specific production needs.
