REVIEW:
Now according to the serving count which is three 1 ¼ “ discs of seeds… You are ingesting a whooping 167 calories!!! + 269mg. of sodium!!!!..I would say if you nibbled these salty discs manufactured  with Celtic salt no less, ”Celtic Sea Salts are a prime condiment that stimulates salivation helps to balance and replenishes all of the body’s electrolytes.” www.healthfree.com/celtic_sea_salt, you would probably, as I did, actually eat 9 discs because I was of course not really paying attention to the process of ingesting these little caloric bombs… so I calculate that I ingested 501 calories + 807 mg of salt.

Taste: Reasonable with the salt + organic tomatoes powder, BUT the caloric content + sodium content are not reasonable coupled with the portion size

Labeling: ”Pizza” Flax Snax… since when is a pizza an inch + 1/4 in diameter..???

Packaging: Just about every available space on this package has information on it, which of course I read AFTER I ate 9 seed discs!!!  For all this hoopla about organic + seeds +family owned what happened to the packaging?????? Small, plastic + not recyclable..
