Visit the Doctor to Get an Awesome Cracker

February 24, 2010   6 Comments

The search for a great cracker has ended with an entry from Texas. Organic and artisan-baked, these crackers are better than anything I have tried in a LONG time.

Doctor Kracker combines healthy ingredients with very little salt and sugar to produce a truly original product. They call themselves the "experts in UBER crunch" and I agree with them.

These crackers are incredibly crunchy. I have them next to my potato chips in my kitchen cabinet. Guess which one I have been reaching for?

The photo above shows that they incorporate many different kinds of seeds. Sesame, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds all add nutrition and taste to the cracker.

They are not a buttery cracker like Ritz Crackers. They are a substantial cracker like Kashi Crackers.

Most of their crackers are 100% whole grain. I was a bit disappointed to see that the more "gourmet" ones in their line-up had less whole grains per serving than others. BUT, they taste great and are so much better for you than Ritz Crackers.

I found a list here: Whole Grains Council that compared crackers across brands and within brands. Kashi Crackers does okay with 8 grams per serving.

But some of the Doctor Kracker such as the Seedlander Snackers have 19 grams per serving (over twice as much!) and they taste better!

Of course, all that artisanal, organic, whole grain taste is going to cost you. At $5 for a box (on average), you are paying for all that love they put in them. The link below from Amazon is a bargain for 5 packages at $23 - but that is alot of crackers!

Healthy crackers are a good snack, but not as good as Apples, Bananas, or Oranges.

The high price of these crackers will keep you from eating them too quickly. Savoring your food is important, and I try not to worry about the price if it tastes good and is good for me.

My kids really loved the Apple Crisps (8 grams of whole grains). These are an excellent substitute for goldfish or cheddar bunnies which have a LITTLE bit of whole grain.

Doctor Kracker is on Amazon and at Whole Foods. There is a list by state on their website here Doctor Kracker.

You can also print out a 75 cents off coupon from their website to entice you to give them a try.
