Seed sauce is made from ground seeds blended into a spoonable sauce. Sesame is included, while sunflower or other seeds, oil, water, lemon juice, garlic and spices can vary by recipe or product.
To make Seed sauce, blend ground seeds with a little water and lemon juice, adding oil gradually until smooth. Season to taste with garlic or spices, and remember that sesame is part of the sauce.
Seed sauce works as a dressing for salads and roasted vegetables, a topping for grain bowls, or a dip for bread and raw vegetables. Thin it with a little water if you want it to drizzle easily.
Seed sauce can taste nutty like tahini, but it is not necessarily the same: tahini is made from sesame alone, while Seed sauce may combine sesame with other seeds and seasonings. Its flavor varies with the blend.
Seed sauce can replace tahini in some dressings and dips, but the result may taste different and have a looser or thicker texture. Start with a smaller amount, then adjust the seasoning and liquid in the recipe.
Seed sauce can separate as its oil rises during storage. Stir it thoroughly before serving; if it has thickened, mix in water a little at a time until it reaches the consistency you want.
Keep opened Seed sauce sealed in the refrigerator and follow the product’s storage directions. Use a clean utensil each time, and discard the sauce if its smell, appearance or texture suggests it has spoiled.
Seed sauce provides fats, fiber and minerals from its seeds, but it is also a rich, concentrated condiment. A modest spoonful can add flavor to vegetables or grains without needing to make it the main part of the meal.
Yes, Seed sauce can be frozen in a tightly sealed container, though it may separate or change texture when thawed. Defrost it in the refrigerator, then stir or blend it smooth before serving.
No. Seed sauce contains sesame, which can trigger a serious allergic reaction in people with sesame allergy. Avoid it, including sauces served in restaurants, unless the ingredients have been confirmed safe for you.

Seed sauce is a thick, savoury sauce made by grinding seeds into a paste and loosening it as needed. Recipes vary: water, oil, citrus juice or seasonings may be added, so the exact flavour and texture depend on the seeds and preparation rather than a single regional formula.
Its rich, lightly toasted taste works well with salads, roasted vegetables, sandwiches and grain bowls. Serve it as a dip with bread or crunchy vegetables, or spoon a little over a simple meal. Seeds give it a substantial amount of fat as well as protein and fibre, making it more filling than a thin dressing. If you prefer a lighter, pourable consistency, stir in water and a squeeze of lemon rather than adding more oil.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
