Having taste-tested quite a few crackers in our time, we can tell you that the most crucial aspect of a cracker is usually how satisfying its crunch is. For example, while our Trader Joe’s Organic Seedy Crackers are tremendously savory and delightfully hearty, what really sets them apart is their remarkably resonant crunch. What’s our supplier’s secret? Making each Cracker primarily from the kinds of crispy seeds and grains that tend to play a supporting role in other crackers. Starting with a base of organic brown rice, our supplier mixes in organic quinoa, flax, and sesame seeds into each batch, then flavors them with a bit of umami-forward tamari before baking, resulting in one captivatingly crunchy (and gloriously gluten-free!) Cracker.

Excellent as an anytime snack, and an ideal inclusion in school lunches, our vegan and kosher (pareve) Organic Seedy Crackers especially excel when used as a vehicle for cheeses, charcuterie, or dips. We find that their superlatively crisp texture and light umami edge make them particularly suited for pairing with rich, creamy fare. Try them with a bit of Ricotta and Olive Tapenade, a slice of avocado and Lightly Smoked Salmon in Olive Oil, or, to keep things vegan, a simple spread of Dairy-Free Garlic & Herbs Boursin.
