Our seeds & processed range

Six ingredient groups.
From whole seeds to ready-to-use pastes.

Processed ingredients are bought against a functional spec — particle size, fat content, moisture, roast level — not just an origin. The six groups below cover what bakeries, bar makers and manufacturers ask us for most; tell us the recipe and the line, and we will match the format to it.

Quality & specification

Ingredients made
to your functional specification.

A processed ingredient has to perform on the line, not just pass at the border. Before an order is confirmed we lock the functional parameters — particle size, fat and moisture, roast colour, water activity, microbiology — with your technical sheet, produce a pre-shipment sample for approval and document every lot on the certificate of analysis that travels with the goods.

  • Food-safety & allergen controlLots tested against EU limits for aflatoxin, pesticide residues, Salmonella (critical for sesame and tahini), ethylene oxide and heavy metals; allergen status and cross-contact declared per product; producers BRCGS / IFS / ISO 22000 certified.
  • Functional parametersParticle size distribution, fat and moisture content, FFA and peroxide value, roast colour (L-value), water activity and Brix for syrups — agreed per SKU and confirmed by pre-shipment sample.
  • Packaging for the lineNitrogen-flushed or vacuum bags for cuts and flours, 5–20 kg pails and 200 kg drums or 1,000 kg IBC for pastes and syrups, 10–12.5 kg blocks for fruit pastes, and retail jars or pouches under your label.

Who we supply

Food ingredients for every production line.

A bar maker, an industrial bakery and a spread brand each need the same almond in a different form. These are the four channels we serve most.

Industrial Bakery & Confectionery

Sesame and seed toppings, sliced and diced nuts, fruit pastes and dices, hazelnut and pistachio pastes for fillings, enrobing and inclusions.

Bars, Cereals & Snacks

Date paste as a binder, nut butters, roasted seed mixes, coated inclusions and fruit flakes with consistent moisture and particle size for extrusion and forming lines.

Spreads, Plant-Based & Nutrition Brands

Tahini, nut butters and seed protein powders for retail spreads, plant-based dairy, hummus, sports nutrition and free-from ranges — bulk or filled under your label.

Ingredient Distributors & Food Service

Mixed-pallet and container programmes of seeds, pastes and cuts for ingredient wholesalers, catering suppliers and ethnic-food distributors across the EU and UK.

Sourcing & processing

From origin to processor
to Rotterdam and your plant.

We source raw seeds, nuts and fruit from the same growers and packers that supply our whole-product programmes, and have them processed at audited partner facilities in Türkiye, Iran, Greece, Italy and the Netherlands. The finished ingredient is consolidated through the Port of Rotterdam — one supplier, one technical contact and one delivery for every SKU in your recipe.

  • Flexible IncotermsEXW, FCA, CIF, DAP or DDP — quoted per shipment so the price is comparable with your other offers.
  • Technical documentationProduct specification sheet, CoA per lot, allergen and nutritional declaration, non-GMO statement, Organic / Halal / Kosher certificates where applicable and full traceability to raw-material origin.
  • Development & call-off programmesSample and pilot batches for new recipes, then annual contracts with monthly call-offs and stock held in the Netherlands, so your line never waits on a container.

Buyer questions

Seeds & processed ingredients — frequently asked.

What is the minimum order for processed ingredients?

Whole seeds start at one pallet (around 1,000 kg). Pastes, butters, flours and cut nuts are produced to order, so minimums are typically 500–1,000 kg per SKU, or one production batch for custom recipes. Several SKUs can be combined into a mixed pallet or container.

Can you produce ingredients to my own recipe or specification?

Yes. Send us your technical sheet — particle size, roast level, fat and moisture, packaging — and we will produce a pre-shipment sample for approval before the first batch. Custom roasted seed mixes, coated inclusions and fruit-paste blends are developed the same way.

How do you control Salmonella and allergens in sesame and tahini?

Sesame and tahini are sourced only from producers with validated kill steps (steam sterilisation or roasting), tested for Salmonella on every lot and, where required, again on arrival. Allergen status and cross-contact (sesame, tree nuts, peanuts, gluten) are declared per product and per facility.

Do you supply organic, gluten-free or Halal certified ingredients?

Yes. EU-certified organic sesame, sunflower, flax, chia, tahini and nut butters are available; nut and seed flours are produced in gluten-free lines with a declaration; Halal and Kosher certificates are supplied for products that carry them. Tell us early in the enquiry, as certified minimums and lead times differ.

How should pastes, flours and cut nuts be stored and how long do they keep?

Whole seeds keep 12–24 months cool and dry. Pastes and butters keep 9–12 months at ambient (below 20 °C, no light), with oil separation normal in natural products. Nut flours and cut nuts are the most oxidation-sensitive: 6–9 months nitrogen-flushed, longer if chilled. See our storage guides.

Do you deliver outside the Netherlands?

Yes — we ship throughout the EU, the UK, Scandinavia and the Middle East. Quotes are given on your preferred Incoterm, and we can arrange ambient or temperature-controlled transport to your plant under DAP or DDP.
