Munchy seeds

Article Type: Food facts From: Nutrition & Food Science, Volume 40, Issue 1.

You may have seen the Munchy Seeds snack packets in Tescos and Waitrose but now they have brought out a new sunflower and pumpkin seed oil that is ideal for salad dressings and dips!

Made from a blend of Roasted Sunflower & Pumpkin Seed Oil which has an intensely nutty flavour and a rather distinct dark colour, nicknamed “green gold”. The Pumpkin seeds used to produce this oil are roasted before they are pressed and this helps give this oil its wonderful nutty flavour.

The oil is brimming with nutritional benefits including magnesium, iron, selenium, zinc and vitamin E. It also contains essential fatty acids and amino acids.

Ideally suited for salad dressing, dipping and drizzling over freshly cooked food. Delicious drizzled over roasted potatoes with a pinch of rock salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
