About Bagel seasoning

Bagel seasoning, often referred to as 'Everything Bagel Seasoning,' is a versatile spice blend originating from North American deli culture. Traditionally sprinkled on bagels, it includes a mixture of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried onion, and salt. This combination creates a savory and aromatic profile that complements various dishes beyond bagels. While the seasoning itself is relatively low in calories, individual ingredients like sesame seeds and poppy seeds contain small amounts of healthy fats, calcium, and fiber. Garlic and onion offer trace vitamins and antioxidants. However, its sodium content can be moderate to high depending on the blend, so portion control is encouraged.

Health Benefits

• Sesame seeds provide healthy fats and are a good plant-based source of calcium, which supports bone health.
• Garlic contains allicin, a compound with potential antioxidant and immune-boosting properties.
• Onion flakes contribute small amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants, which promote skin and immune health.
