HFI’s milled sunflower kernel provides water absorption, gelling capacity and creates a strong dough s
tructure, along with the emulsion capacity needed to stabilize water-oil molecules. Milled sunflower kernel is excellent for applications including breads, cookies and crackers.
Milled chia also boasts gelation and water absorption properties as well as a desirable mouthfeel. Utilized in a jam application, milled chia provides a clean label, better-for-you product, without the need for pectin or sugar. Milled chia is a great fit for many applications including energy bites and bars, smoothies and as an egg replacer in baking.
