The aim was to develop a snack bar using regional food products. The formulation included traditional cereals and amaranth, quinoa, sunflower, flax, chia, sesame and poppy seeds subjected to different treatment. Two sensory evaluations were carried out to evaluate acceptability. Snack bars containing toast seeds presented high acceptability by consumer. Amaranth, quinoa, chia and sunflower significantly increased the acceptability. The sensory methods applied allowed the selection of ingredients and processing technologies that increase the preference of consumers.
