As many of you know, I LOVE crunchy dehydrated crackers made from sprouted grains and seeds. The following recipe is one of my favorite cracker concoctions made with flax seeds! As you can see from the photo, Rudi likes them too!
Lots of Omega 3’s!
Flax seeds are a fabulous source of vegan protein, omega 3’s and fiber. It is important to eat them raw for maximum benefits, and definitely soak them for a few hours beforehand to release the enzyme inhibitors, which make the nutrients more readily available and easier to absorb.
Dehydrating is fun!
If you don’t have a dehydrator, now is the time to get one! This recipe is quick and easy, and loaded with flavor. These crackers totally satisfy those cravings for crunchy munchies with a little salty, spicy sweetness! The dehydrating process (as opposed to baking), retains almost 100% of the nutritional content of the food. If you need a dehydrator, I recommend the Excalibur 5 or 9 tray with paraflexx sheets.
