Surprised?  Over ninety-six percent of the kids loved this thin crispy cracker!  It has just enough taste and crunch appeal to win them over.  " Yummy… I loved it… tastes a little like bread."  We like the thin whole grain approach.  Spread some organic butter, peanut or almond butter, jam, organic cream cheese or shredded cheese on top.  Add a few parsley flakes and/or paprika for nutrient color value.  Let your kids do this – try layers for fun. Great for snacks and lunch boxes. It is more filling than you think. Put this on your grocery list.
