These are crisp, light crackers with a satisfying snap, crafted from a blend of corn starch and white rice flour for a delicate, gluten-free base. They feature a subtle, earthy flavor from added multigrains and vegetable powders, offering a savory, slightly toasty taste. Nutritionally, they are a high-carbohydrate, energy-dense snack with minimal protein and fiber.

↓ Full nutritionPeople love them for their satisfying crunch and neutral, savory flavor that pairs perfectly with dips, cheeses, or charcuterie. They are a go-to for gluten-free entertaining, offering a familiar, crowd-pleasing texture without the gluten.
Their high carbohydrate and low fiber/protein content can lead to rapid blood-sugar spikes if eaten alone. To counteract this, pair them with protein-rich hummus, cheese, or nut butter, and practice portion control by sticking to a single serving.
Corn starch, a primary ingredient, is often used in gluten-free baking not just as a flour substitute but to create a lighter, more tender crumb by inhibiting gluten formation in other flours.

Are these crackers suitable for a low-carb diet?
No, with nearly 77g of carbohydrates per 100g, they are a high-carb food and would not be appropriate for a standard low-carb or ketogenic diet.
Why are they so high in calories despite being gluten-free?
The calorie density comes primarily from the concentrated carbohydrate sources (corn starch, rice flour) and added fats, which are common in processed gluten-free products to improve texture and palatability.
Can I use these as a bread substitute for sandwiches?
While you can use them as a base for open-faced sandwiches or canapés, their brittle texture means they won't hold together like sliced bread for traditional sandwiches.
