Boilie ingredients: Nut and seed

How to use them in boilies
Nuts and seeds add oil, a distinctive taste and natural attraction. Tiger nut flour is sweet and is one of the best-known carp attractors; hemp seed meal has a strong nutty smell and good protein; peanut meal is rich and oily; ground linseed adds oil and helps binding with its natural mucilage.
Most nut and seed meals are used at 5 to 10 % of the dry mix. Because they carry oil, they work best in warmer water; in winter keep the amount low. Tiger nut and hemp suit spod mixes and particle approaches where carp are already feeding on seeds and nuts, and they pair well with sweet or nutty flavours.
