The Hamburg-based ingredients specialist Bösch Boden Spies has a new product in its range: Cranberry Seeds from Ocean Spray. Seeds are all the rage because they give food texture and provide valuable nutrients. The new Cranberry Seeds go one step further: with their bright red colour, they are also a visual highlight, and turn every product into an eye-catcher, according to the provider.

The red colour is 100 % natural and comes directly from the fruit. The seeds which consist of 20 % plant-based protein also provide valuable fibre and omega-3 fatty acids. In this way, they enhance food not just visually, but also functionally, and give it a crunchy texture. The Cranberry Seeds offer a wide range of possible applications, for example in snacks, baked goods, muesli or granola bars.

The seeds are harvested from the flesh of ripe cranberries, from which they are separated using a physical process, and then dried to the desired degree of moisture. In fact, they are a by-product of cranberry production. By making them usable, Ocean Spray is able to utilize the entire fruit – a further step towards sustainability for the company.
