Like other products from the brand's portfolio, the condiments are made with bases of sunflower, pumpkin or watermelon seeds to share up to five grams of protein per serving. The seed-based dressings are available in varieties like Lemon Poppy Seed, [Garden Ranch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-veggie-snacks-products) and [Smoky Chipotle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hilltop-hot-honey), and each flavor offers a satisfying alternative to shelf-stable salad dressings that are filled with preservatives and other undesirable ingredients. In each product, seeds are the first ingredient, making the recipes both full of flavor and nutritionally rich.
