Author Notes
They go hand in hand with hummus, spreads and sprouts of all kinds, with salads and light lunches. They also stand very well on their own, in a small container tucked away in one’s purse, for emergency snack de luxe.
This recipe makes a nice change from bread and those dry styrofoamy galettes. It can be made into hand sized or bite size crackers, thicker or thinner, chewy or crispy, according to taste.
If you have one, here’s an opportunity to make good use of a dehydrator and make it a raw snack.
