Review of Van's Gluten-Free Crackers (The Perfect 10)

Van's -- Gluten-Free Crackers (The Perfect 10) (vegan, gluten-free)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: super flavourful and crunchy! A+! You can really taste the blend of sesame and poppy seeds and the onion and garlic flavours.  The ingredients are super, though I'd prefer some more fiber/protein content. It's also a wee bit salty for me. Still, I highly recommend this product.

Where to buy: Fortinos, Wanigan



Ingredients: Van's Gluten Free Whole Grain Blend (Brown Rice Flour, Oats, Millet, Teff, Quinoa And Amaranth), non-GMO Expeller Pressed Sunflower And/Or Safflower Oil, Potato Starch, Brown Sugar, Rice Flour, Salt, Flax Seeds, Sesame Seeds, Yeast Extract, Poppy Seeds, Caraway Seeds, Sunflower Lecithin, Onion Powder, Natural Flavors, Garlic Powder, Mixed Tocopherols For Freshness.

I have zero issue with these ingredients; all are simple, natural, and wholesome. The nutritional profile is decent; it's low-calorie, low in bad fats, low in sodium, and has a decent amount of protein and fiber. These pair well with a mild cheese, but my preference is a guacamole dip!
