Three Seeds plus Oats Make Delicious Norwegian Crispbread

[jesse_the_k]

These very crunchy crackers are made from sunflower, sesame and flax seeds, glued together with a little oil, honey, potato starch, rice bran, and water.

These are the neatest thing since, umm, sliced bread. They have actual flavor, the one thing missing from the last crackers I recommended.

MyGuy found them at Trader Joe’s, and I adore them. They work with my low-carb menus (just 3g net carbs for each cracker). They’re large enough to feel like an actual open-face sandwich. They’re sturdy enough to withstand toasting cheese on top.

Stock varies widely at TJs, so I tracked down their Norwegian manufacturer, SIGDAL BAKERI. Amazon sold me a case of 12 for US$77 — that’s $1.50 per cracker. While they were just as fresh as the TJ version, they’re shipped from Norway with no padding whatsoever. Each packet had at least one cracker shattered into more than 5 pieces. My local TJs charged $2.05 per cracker.

They’re clearly made by the same company, with subtle differences that I’m nerdy enough to detail behind the cut.
