Crust Mix With Kashi Seven Whole Grains & Sesame Blend

This ingredient is a blend of seven whole grains and sesame seeds. The grains typically include hard red winter wheat, brown rice, barley, triticale, oats, buckwheat, and quinoa. Sesame seeds are small, flat seeds that grow in pods on the *Sesamum indicum* plant.

This blend is used to add a nutty flavor, texture, and nutritional value to foods. Manufacturers often include it in baked goods like breads, crackers, and pizza crusts, as well as in breakfast cereals and snack bars.

Whole grains and sesame seeds are generally considered healthy components of a balanced diet. They provide dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not typically set specific limits for whole grain blends, as they are considered food ingredients. Evidence generally supports the health benefits of whole grains for heart health and digestion.
