What it is

Fruits are the sweet and fleshy product of a tree or other plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food. Seeds are the small, embryonic plant enclosed in a hard, protective outer coat. Together, they are often processed into various forms like dried pieces, powders, or pastes for use in food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add fruit and seeds to foods for flavor, texture, and nutritional value. They are commonly found in cereals, granola, baked goods like cookies and muffins, and snack bars, adding natural sweetness and a satisfying chewiness.

Health notes

Fruits and seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food. They are a natural source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various fruit and seed components. While generally considered healthy, excessive consumption of certain types of seeds or fruits, especially in processed forms, might contribute to high sugar or calorie intake.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen, unless derived from specific fruits or seeds that are allergens (e.g., sesame seeds). Gluten is not typically associated with fruits and seeds themselves, but cross-contamination can occur during processing.
