Crunchmaster Multi-Seed Crackers (gluten-free)

Crunchmaster Multi-Seed Crackers are the best gluten- free crackers that I've tasted, to date. 

Many of the other gluten-free cracker brands that I've tried, like Blue Diamond, as one example, have a very strange texture, bland flavor and are not appealing at all.

These Crunchmaster crackers actually taste good on their own, no topping required unless you want to add something to them. That to me is the "true test" of overall cracker-appeal. ;-)

 I  also think they are just salty enough and the rosemary has a nice, not overbearing flavor. They come in other flavors too, but the Rosemary and Olive Oil is my fav. Absolutely fab with some hummus on top, a delish and satisfying snack, anytime of the day. And they have a wonderful crunchy texture that adds to their overall appeal in a big way.

My only complaint, one package I got had about a third of the crackers broken into small pieces. I ended up using these in veggie patties so not wasted. I haven't had another pack with that many broken crackers since but I think the packaging could be better. I did contact the company about this a few weeks ago, but haven't received a reply.

I also hope that the company adds an organic option to this cracker brand. I'm all for organics, in everything and this would make these crackers an even better choice.

Here is the ingredient/nutritional info. from the back of the package:

If you've been looking for a good gluten-free cracker or even if you aren't concerned about gluten in foods, give these a try. I think you'll like them! :-)

Tyrrell's Beetroot, Parsnip & Carrot Chips with Sea Salt

 

 

I'm always on the lookout for healthier snack options, that still taste great and really satisfy "the munchies".  :<)

 

I recently tried: Tyrrell's Beetroot, Parsnip & Carrot Chips with Sea Salt and really enjoyed these rather unusual "chips".

 

 

Here's the ingredient list and nutritionals:

 

 

Mixed root vegetables in variable proportions (beetroot, parsnip and carrot) 65%, sunflower oil, sea salt.

 

Typical Values	Per 100g
Energy	2102kJ/506kcal

Carbohydrates	38.6g
of which sugars	22.5g
Total Fat	35.7g
of which saturated	4.1g
Fibre	13.6g

Now that's my kind of ingredient list!

 

These are not for anyone who hates veggies obviously. But then again, how can anyone really hate vegetables? ;<) I find that hard to imagine. 

 

But if you DO like veggies and enjoy the crunch of a good chip snack:

 

Tyrrell's Beetroot, Parsnip & Carrot Chips with Sea Salt

 

are definitely one to look for and try.

 

Gluten-free too, that's always a plus.

 

 

Stop by the Tyrrell (fun!) site to see their extensive product line that includes all kinds of other delish sounding nibbles. They also have a caption contest happening right now.

 

Tyrrell's is based in England which is kind of cool too.

I can't remember ever having any other snack food that came from the UK. I hope they continue to add to their North American markets, for the US and Canada. I'd love to try more of their products.

 

 

Only two things that would have made these chips even better.
 If they were organic and if the chips were just a bit bigger.

 

But when it came to flavor and crunch, top-notch!

 

I had a hard time not eating the whole bag at one time! ;<)
