RW Garcia’s philosophy is “great tasting can be good for you.” We saw it with their tortilla chips and today we saw it with their 5 Seed Crackers they sent us a few weeks back. They use only high quality ingredients in their products including organic non-GMO corn and additive-free and preservative-free seasonings. Their 5 Seed Crackers live up to their philosophy.
RW Garcia’s 5 Seed Crackers come in 3 varieties, Rosemary and Garlic, Onion and Chive, and Tellicherry Cracked Pepper. These crackers, made with white corn, hemp seeds, brown flaxseed, poppy seed, black sesame seeds and white sesame seeds, pack great flavor. You would think with just 50 mg of sodium per serving, there might not be much flavor, but you’d be wrong. These crackers are flavored with things like garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and salt. It doesn’t take much seasoning to make these crackers taste good either. The corn and 5 types of seeds these crackers are made of are flavorful on their own. The flavors work very well together. The texture is also pretty good. Biting into a cracker, you get a nice crunch, but I must admit that these are a little on the dry side. It goes great with dip though.
Part of RW Garcia’s philosophy is being a healthy snack. With a serving size of about 16 crackers, these have 140 calories, 7 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, no cholesterol, and 50mg of sodium. I’m by no means a health expert, but seeing the nutrition of similar products, I would say these are pretty healthy. I wouldn’t feel too guilty eating these crackers.
