Mixed Seed Crackers

Posted on

Enjoy these crackers with any of the dips. They are gluten-free and packed with healthy fats. The addition of nori provides essential minerals, including iodine, and the hemp seeds provide an excellent source of protein and are packed with healthy omega-3 fats. They also contain plenty of disease-fighting, plant-based phytonutrients and protective antioxidants such as vitamin E. These will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
