    Foods Alive Flax Crackers are a Surprising Healthy Favorite

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on February 21, 2017 Dairy-Free Snack Reviews, Product Reviews

    On each package of these unique crackers is a cartoon couple proclaiming, “Just one taste will leave you saying, I can’t believe I like these!!!”  This sums up Foods Alive Flax Crackers nicely.

    These are a fun snack.  Foods Alive presents their crackers as giant broken pieces (think peanut brittle) of what appears to be glued together flaxseeds.  To maintain the “live food” status while making them easy to eat, the flaxseeds are soaked in water, formed into crackers, and then dehydrated at a very low temperature.  This makes the seeds brittle and crunch-able while preserving the living enzymes and nutrition.  Not only does this prevent dozens of seeds from lodging within teeth, it also allows the seeds to be crushed when chewed releasing more of their health benefits.

    Tasting Notes for Foods Alive Flax Crackers

    I am a big fan of the nutty taste of flaxseeds, so I feared my testimony may be somewhat biased.  I wasn’t sure how non-flax eaters would take to this simple “raw” food.  So, I put them to the ultimate test … my meat and potato loving relatives.  To my amazement everyone loved them, including grandma!  Though we had a few dips out, the majority continued to munch on these crackers a la carte right up until dinner was served. They even requested to try every flavor!

    In terms of their “crackeriness,” they are randomly shaped and sized and have a nice crispy crunch that is more seed than bread. Unique, but very enjoyable, and still quite functional like a cracker. In addition to devouring one right after another, I tried the Mustard Flax Crackers with plain hummus, and it was a delicious combination. My overall verdict: Better than potato chips in every way – nutritious, delicious, and guilt-free. But here are our tasting notes for each flavor of Foods Alive Flax Crackers.

    Maple & Cinnamon

    These have a very light flavor, with just a hint of maple sweetness, and a burst of calm cinnamon.  These were an excellent afternoon snack when I needed a bit of sugar, but didn’t want to go overboard.

    Onion Garlic

    True to name, these are potent!  Garlic lovers will be pleased with the initial garlic punch, which morphs into an onion-y aftertaste.  Just one warning: carry breath mints.  Though full of good (and delicious) cold-fighting spices, this flavor probably isn’t the best selection for a pre-date snack.

    Rosemary Hemp

    I have only trialed a few hemp containing foods thus far, but none have disappointed as of yet.  These savory flax crackers have a slightly more complex flavor than the other varieties.  A mild “cheesy” flavor combined with the scent and taste of rosemary was what I recognized most.  The hemp and flax created a very mild background.  I would recommend these for general snacking or as an accompaniment to an Italian inspired dip.

    Mexican

    The spicy flavor of the Mexican crackers is fabulous. Bold, yet not too hot. The tomato base is evident, but the blend of nutritious spices is just right.  Perfect on their own, no dip required.

    Italian Zest

    Foods Alive hit Italian seasoning on the nose with this variety. I like the Italian crackers best for dipping, but it still holds it’s own as a snack.

    Original

    I was expecting a blank canvas for dips with the regular crackers, but they do in fact have a flavor all their own.  Due to the ingredients, they have a light soy sauce flavor that is quite good, but not an open invite to all dips and spreads.

    Including my extended family – and none of them are dairy-free, let alone gluten-free, or healthy for that matter! These are totally unique, but addictive.
