Doctor in the Kitchen, created by Dr. Alison Levitt, makes a line of flax seed crackers called Flackers. Everything is based on her motto “Good food is wise medicine.” She developed Flackers for herself and her clients as a way to get the nutritional benefits of flax seed in a great tasting cracker.
Let me first start off by saying that we are not raw food eaters. We have had a few raw products in the past and were not fans of them. That has all changed with these Doctor in the Kitchen Flackers. These crackers are made of organic flax seeds that are formed into sheets about the size of a business card and are flavored with organic spices. The flavor is great. You can really taste the nutty flavor of the flax seed, which is enhanced by the organic spices that they add to it. The texture is great too; nice and crispy. I would consider it a little complex though because they start off crispy and end up chewy. They get stuck in your teeth too so if you have sensitive teeth, you might want to be a little careful.
The Flackers come in 3 varieties: dill, rosemary and savory. Dill is made flavored with organic apple cider vinegar, organic dill, and organic red chili peppers. Rosemary is flavored with organic apple cider vinegar, organic rosemary and organic sage. Savor is flavored with organic apple cider vinegar, organic garlic, organic onion, organic chili pepper and organic basil. These are all flavors that go great with the nutty flavor of the flax seeds. These crackers are very flavorful and can be eaten plain, but they are great with cheese and dips as well. It’s a great healthy alternative to traditional crackers.

| Nutrition Facts for Rosmary Variety |
Flax seeds are a great source for nutrition. They are a good source for omega-3 fatty acid, fiber, antioxidants, protein, plant lignans, vitamins and minerals. These Flackers are raw too so that means that they are dehydrated at low temperatures. The manufacturer claims that this helps preserve the omega-3 fatty acid. With 100-110 calories, 7 grams of fat, 75-90 milligrams of sodium and 5 grams of protein per serving of 3 flackers, this is a great alternative to traditional crackers.
Overall, we were very impressed by these Flackers. We never knew raw could taste so good. Doctor in a Kitchen has combined great taste and snack that is good for you too. For more information about this product, visit the manufacturer’s website at: www.drinthekitchen.com.
Taste: The Flackers have great flavor. You can really taste the nutty flavor of the flax seeds. The flavoring is perfect too; seasoned with organic herbs and spices.
Labeling: The labeling on this product is very clean and elegant. The labels are easy to read and go into detail about what it is that makes them stand apart from the rest.
Packaging: The Flackers come in a plastic bag, but be careful opening them as they are one of those tricky bags that end up ripping easily. The plastic package is placed in a 100% recycled paperboard box.
