The Americana Gourmet Black & White Seeded Bun has been developed by the American-inspired bakery brand from Lantmännen Unibake UK as its latest creation for the foodservice industry.
The burger bun features a four-inch size with a brioche style developed especially with the needs of quick-service restaurants (QSR), pubs and traditional restaurants alike in mind. The bun is paired with a premium glaze and finished with a series of black and white sesame seeds that achieve a distinctive appearance along with a touch of texture against the soft, pillowy profile of the brioche.
Brand Manager at Lantmännen Unibake UK Holly Holt commented on the Americana Gourmet Black & White Seeded Bun saying, "Consumers eat with their eyes and first impressions sell burgers. Consumers are looking for eating experiences that feel special and are worth the spend, and the new Gourmet Black & White Seeded Bun gives operators that wow factor straight from the box, with no extra prep, skill or cost in the kitchen. For busy kitchens under pressure on margins, it is a simple way to elevate a burger and command a premium price whilst meeting the growing demand for high-quality burger experience."
