  • omg. i'm in LOVE! flaxseed crackers

    Ok - so one thing i've been realllly missing lately is a nice crunchy cracker...
    and while I really like making my own foods - i've been too lazy to make my own crackers - lol.

    So at one of the health food stores here in Indy today (Georgetown Market for anyone around Indy)...I saw "Golden Flax Crackers"...they're a LITTLE pricey at $5-sumthin per 4 oz bag...but SO worth it!

    I came home and had a few crackers with my home made guacamole...MMMM!

    ingredients: Golden Flaxseed, Bragg Liuquid Aminos (a non-GMO wheat-free soy sauce) & Lemon Juice.

    5 crackers is a serving
    150 calories
    9 g fat
    5g polyunsaturated
    2g monounsaturated
    11g carbs
    11g fiber
    6g protein
    (btw, the hidden carb calculator confirmed this...it came out to 11.25 g carbs per the hidden carb calc.)

    PLUS being flax - it's got omega 3/6/9.

    They're FABULOUS!
    I saw online you can get em' off amazon - the website I found is:
    Foods Alive

    Just wanted to share!

    Now - from the few I just had - I think you DEFINTELY have to have something on them - such as guac or some sort of dip...but they are SO good and crunchy and just awesome!

    There's also a Maple & Cinnamon version - but I was good and didn't get those since it's got maple syrup... lol - but they have some other flavors too.

    Interesting ingredients. Doesn't seem like that would make a good-tasting cracker. I'm gonna have to try and make some that way. I use flax, but always use an egg white for a binder to hold it all together.

    Usually when they call them "flax" crackers, they still have mostly wheat for the main ingredient. I'm always looking at products that sound like I could eat them by the name on the front, but when I look at the ingredients, it is full of bad stuff. I am allergic to grains, especially wheat.
    People who say it can't be done, should not interrupt those doing it.

        I have been eating the Foods Alive crackers since last summer, and they are fantastic. Even the original, "plain"-tasting ones are good. You've got to love a food whose carb grams are 100% accounted for by fiber!
