Culinary nuts and seeds across six groups: Tree Nuts, Peanuts, Edible Seeds, Seed Spices, Nut Products, and Seed Products.
Explore Nuts & Seeds
- Edible Seeds — Edible seeds cover everything from crisp toasted sesame to sprinklable chia and flax, used across baking, garnish, and snacking, including sesame, sunflower seed, pumpkin seed, flaxseed, and chia seed.
- Nut Products — Nut products are processed forms with their own culinary identity distinct from the whole nuts they're made from, including nut flours, nut butters, and nut meals.
- Peanuts — Peanuts are botanically a legume but sit here for their established culinary identity as a nut — the savory, roasted base of peanut butter, satay sauces, and West African stews.
- Seed Products — Seed products are processed forms with their own culinary identity distinct from the whole seeds they're made from, including tahini and other seed pastes and flours.
- Seed Spices — Seed spices are edible seeds used primarily for their spice-like flavoring role rather than as a snack or baking ingredient — mustard seed and similar herb-and-spice seeds are grouped separately.
- Tree Nuts — Tree nuts range from buttery macadamia to tannic walnut, used whole, chopped, and roasted across baking and savory cooking, including almond, walnut, pecan, hazelnut, pistachio, cashew, and macadamia.
