For over 30 years, Flanquart has been a leading supplier of toasted seeds and seed pastes. We manage the entire chain: from the origin of the dehulled sunflower seeds to their low-temperature grinding. This process guarantees pastes with optimal nutritional properties: high average fat content (over 50%), including 8g of saturated fat, with a good balance of protein, fiber, and vitamin E.
Our pastes are available in several variants: neutral, toasted, sweet, salted, organic. They meet the technical and taste needs of manufacturers in bakery, confectionery, foodservice, and plant-based beverages.

Nutritional benefits and applications of sunflower seed pastes
Sunflower seed pastes are:
- Rich in protein, fiber, unsaturated fatty acids, and tocopherols (vitamin E)
- A source of plant-based fats, providing high-quality lipids
- Excellent natural emulsifiers, comparable to E471
Applications:
- Bakery/pastry: Improves texture, dough stability, anti-staling effect
- Confectionery: Stabilizes creams, fillings, and ganaches
- Plant-based drinks/ice creams: Plant-based substitute for butter, almond, or hazelnut paste
- Prepared meals and sauces: Texturizing and binding agent
- Vegan recipes: Alternative to butter, cream, or other animal fats
Thanks to their flavor profile, sunflower seed pastes can reduce the proportion of hazelnut or almond pastes used. Incorporating sunflower seed paste helps reduce recipe costs without compromising on quality or taste.
