Crackers
The one thing I miss are a cabinet full of snacks. I was keen for Triscuits and Cheez-Its but obviously those are out now.
So we went on the hunt for new varieties and as you can guess some are better than most. I am really sensitive to a Gluten Free label is not always enough, when they are made in factories that process wheat I sometimes react.
We tried Blue Diamonds Nut-Thins and they taste good. Thin, crunchy and nutty and the cheese one is tasty (kids like them too). Unfortunately for me every time I eat them I react a bit. They are labeled as made in a factory that processes wheat - so I'm not sure if that is it or something else but I stopped eating them.
Glutinos' crackers are a hit. Think of a Ritz cracker. Crispy, light and a few flavors. My wife loves them.
Hol-Grain was one I found recently. Not a hit. Dry, not very tasty. I'd skip it.
Crunchmaster is my new favorite. Crispy, crunchy and tasty. I'd eat these and not even know they are GF. I would have no problem offering them to a friend with a disclaimer that they are GF. Definitely pick these up.
Sesmark rice crisps. Not bad in taste and much better that the Edward & Sons. My concern is that they clearly state that they are made in a facility that processes wheat although they routinely test batches to make sure that the gluten is less than 20 ppm. Me, I choose not to even take the risk.
The Winner, in the cracker aisle sporting the yellow bag - Crunchmaster (they have a $1 coupon on the website).
Good Eating,

If you miss saltines try Yehuda gluten free matzo. I LOVE them. And although you will be lucky to get a box that doesn't have at least half of them broken, they are, in my opinion, worth the hassle of eating odd shapes!
ReplyDeleteI agree. A thinner, crunchier saltine. I blogged about it on Jan 17th and just recently saw them on the shelf at our local Vons. But I have opened 3 boxes and lots of broken pieces.
