If seeds and texture are your priority, AH Multi-seed Croissants and Lidl Multi-seed Croissants are specific supermarket options. Buy fresh croissants to eat soon, or freeze them promptly. If you want to use your supply over several occasions, consider frozen croissants or long-life bake-at-home croissants. Whatever you choose, check the storage instructions, ingredients and allergen information: the term ‘multi-seed’ doesn’t tell you exactly what the nutritional values are.
You’re looking for a croissant with several types of seed, not just a standard butter croissant. Albert Heijn lists the AH Multi-seed Croissant, while Lidl offers a Multi-seed Croissant made with several types of seed, according to Lidl.
