Using seeds allows us to add texture, consistency and colour to our recipes, making them more attractive and tasty. And, as they\u2019re 100% vegetable-based, we can use the seeds for vegan and vegetarian dishes, in powder or hydrated form.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On our blog, we\u2019ve already shared an article about how you can use seeds in your own kitchens and also how they\u2019re used in the food industry<\/a>. We also explained the main characteristics and properties of the seeds you can find at Itac Professional.<\/u><\/p>\n

This time, we\u2019re going to have a look at some recipe ideas using seeds, which you\u2019ll be able to incorporate into your restaurant menu.<\/p>\n

Should we use sweet or salty seeds in our recipes?<\/p>\n

One of the advantages<\/strong> of using seeds in our recipes<\/strong> is their versatility<\/strong>: we can use them in their natural state, as well as toasted, roasted, boiled, as an infusion, as flour and, in some cases, even germinated.<\/p>\n

As for what kind of recipes with seeds we can use them in, the answer is: practically all of them. We can use them in both sweet and savoury, both as appetizers and as main dishes, side dishes or even desserts.<\/p>\n

For example, we can add some tasty pumpkin or sunflower seeds<\/strong>, both toasted and natural, to creamy soups such as cream of cauliflower, cream of red cabbage, or Vissichoisse.<\/p>\n

Chia seeds are perfect for use in confectionery and bakery<\/strong>, both to decorate or enrich bread coatings and to make cookies and cakes. As for gold flax seeds, these can be used in salads and as an accompaniment to vegetable stir-fries or fruit salads. We can also use sesame seeds (always toasted) to add to pasta and rice dishes.<\/p>\n
