Patagonia Provisions created a trio of Breadfruit Crackers that are certified gluten-free and made with an ingredient that helps to enrich soil and fight the climate crisis. The Breadfruit Crackers can be found in three varieties: the savory and sweet Honey Sesame, the warm and earthy Seeded Turmeric and the spicy Aji Molido.
Each one of the new gluten-free crackers lists breadfruit flour as the first ingredient, followed by other alternatives like organic cassava flour and organic green banana flour, plus other nutrient-dense additions like chia seeds and flax seeds. The crispy crackers are recommended with everything from vegetable sticks and creamy hummus to cheese, seasonal fruits and seafood.
When it comes to snacking, conscious consumers are choosing crackers that are made with ingredients that benefit not only their personal health but also the well-being of the environment.
