REVIEW:

Edward & Sons Jasmine Rice & Spring Onion Exotic Rice Toast…so what makes these crackers so exotic?  Well for one, the blend of flavors is a little exotic, but what really makes them exotic is that they are actually from Thailand.  Thailand?! You ask…we found this a bit surprising too because the packaging seems like American packaging. 

Edward & Sons Exotic Rice Toast comes in three different flavors, Purple Rice & Black Sesame, Thai Red Rice & Flaxseeds, and of course Jasmine Rice & Spring Onion.  So far, this is the only one we have tried and I will say that they are good.  They are crunchy yet light because they are made of rice, but they are firm enough to hold their own when used for dipping.  We had these with a cheese dip from Trader Joe’s and they went perfectly together.  On their own, they aren’t too bad.  The flavor is nice and light, however it does taste a little artificial and leaves a slight aftertaste. 

When comparing these to other gluten free crackers, these are pretty good.  The only thing I didn’t like so much was the flavor, but that might be remedied with another variety of these crackers.  If you’re looking for a cracker to enjoy with your favorite dip, these are the crackers.

Taste: Decent light flavor, but it leaves a slight aftertaste in your mouth.  The texture is great…light yet crispy as is pretty typical for crackers made of rice.

Labeling: The labeling is very attractive with nice pictures on the side showing the different varieties of the crackers with gourmet toppings by a chef in California.  These crackers are also vegan not to mention gluten free.  They use 2 icons on the front of the box.  Usually when I see an icon similar to the one on this packaging, my first thought is that it is certified.  Doing a little more analyzing, I realized that these crackers are not in fact certified.  Instead, I believe that the icons are just there to signify that these crackers are vegan and gluten free.  A little tricky, but this teaches us to always pay attention to the labeling.

Packaging: The packaging is very attractive, yet it is a little wasteful.  It has typical double packaging as is the norm for crackers.  Inside the box are 2 individually wrapped trays with 2 servings per tray.  I understand that it might be more convenient for people on the go, but if you think about it, It’s actually triple packaging.
