What is a Sprinkle ?
A sprinkle is a nutritionally dense seed-based seasoning used to add flavour, texture and visual beauty to any prepared meal.
Our savoury sprinkles are usually 80% highly nutritious superfoods like sesame, sunflower, pumpkin or coconut mixed with a Cheeky array of spices. This creates the perfect combination of flavour and healthy goodness that can be added on top of everyday meals like soups, salads, stir-frys or even sushi.
Like we say – A Sprinkle A Day, Keeps The Bland Away!
How to use a sprinkle?
Think of salt and pepper upgraded! Forget seasoning and personalising your meals with salt, pepper or chilli flakes – they are usually one-dimensional and do not add any nutritional benefits to your meals.
Sprinkles are the new way to season your meals. Not only are they world cuisine-based blast of flavour i your mouth – they come with the additional benefits of varied texture (provided through a range of crushed roasted seeds, spices and herbs) and improved nutrition (our savoury sprinkles are 80% superfood based).
So simply take a pink of sprinkle in your fingers and season away your favourite meals. The best part is everyone can add as much or as little to their plate, based on their personal taste preferences.
How are sprinkles different to seasonings?
Yes!
Sprinkles are a mix of crushed seeds, herbs, and spices.
Seasonings on the other hand are just a mix of salt, herbs and spices.
Sprinkles add texture, taste, and nutrition to your favorite meal.
Seasonings mostly just add a nutritionally empty taste to food.
Sprinkles are used on top of a prepared meal, so they are a great way of personalizing your own plate
Seasoning are used during the process of cooking food, so it cannot be modified for personal taste preference.
We like to say Sprinkles are Seasoning Elevated and Upgraded!
