Review of 'Triscuit' Baked Whole Grain Wheat Crackers (Original)

Triscuit -- Crackers (Original) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: I do like these. They're super crispy and fresh, even though I opened the box about 2 months before the 'best before' date. The texture is really great with the interwoven wheat. It's nicely salted (not too salty like many crackers). I have been pairing it with an ajvar spread and...yum! My  only issue is how terrible the brand (made by Kraft) is...I wouldn't buy it again simply for that reason. You can read more about the brand below.

Where to buy: Freshco, Sobeys


Ingredients: WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT, SOYBEAN OIL, SALT.

There would be no problem with the ingredients if I didn't think that the oil was almost certainly a GMO. Other than that, the nutritionals are fine for a little snack. These are simple and great-tasting crackers and you can put almost anything you like on them. Nothing beats cheeses and meats, of course, but I've also tried it with a hummus spread and an avocado spread and it works really nicely.
