Grains are a fundamental ingredient in bakery and snack food products that can provide flavor, texture, nutrition, and functional benefits. What’s more, there exists a multitude of different grains to choose from, depending upon the product needs.
Healthy Food Ingredients has launched two new products: a milled chia, and a milled sunflower kernel. Jennifer Tesch, chief marketing officer for t
he company, says, “Our milled sunflower kernel provides water absorption and creates a strong dough structure, along with the emulsion capacity needed to stabilize water-oil molecules.”
Milled sunflower kernel can be used in bread, cookies, and cracker applications. Milled chia boasts gelation and water absorption properties as well as a desirable mouthfeel notes Tesch. This ingredient is a great fit for energy bites, bars and as an egg replacer in baked goods. Both new products are clean-label, better-for-you ingredients that fit gluten-free, keto, and vegan trends.
