What it is
A 'Super Seed And Fruit Blend' is a proprietary mixture of various seeds and dried fruits, often chosen for their perceived nutritional benefits. The exact composition can vary widely by manufacturer, but common ingredients might include chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, goji berries, blueberries, and cranberries.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add these blends to foods like breads, bagels, and baked goods to enhance texture, add visual appeal with visible seeds and fruit pieces, and boost the product's nutritional profile. They are often marketed as a source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants.
Health notes
The FDA does not specifically regulate 'Super Seed And Fruit Blend' as a single ingredient. The individual components, such as seeds and fruits, are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when consumed as food. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/IARC have evaluated some individual seeds and fruits, but not this specific blend. Evidence for the health benefits of such blends is often based on the known properties of their individual ingredients, and the overall health impact depends on the specific formulation and the quantity consumed.
Allergen info
This blend may contain or be derived from major allergens depending on its specific ingredients. For example, if sesame seeds are included, it would be a major allergen. It is not inherently derived from milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, or soy unless those are explicitly added. Gluten is not typically present in seeds and fruits, but cross-contamination is possible.
