I wish there had been some product left in the bag for this picture, but there’s good reason why the bag is completely empty. I shared these gluten-free crackers with my friend Andrew Hyde, who is on a gluten-free diet, and he devoured the entire bag in about 30 min. Poor guy hadn’t tasted anything that resembled a cracker in about 4 years. But if he hadn’t done it, I probably would have - they were really that good.

There are gluten-free crackers out there, but finding those with that nice cracker texture is tough - really tough. Most that I’ve tried use a rice flour substitute that usually leaves a “gummy” texture in my mouth. Totally un-cracker like. These Skinny Crisps were crunchy, crispy with a hearty, nutty texture. This variety in particular is dusted with cinnamon, which makes them the perfect substitute for a graham cracker.

In our search to find the best products for Foodzie, one thing we try to do is talk to as many foodies out there as we possibly can. I’ve wanted to learn more about the needs of people on a gluten-free diet, to better understand how we can help them on Foodzie. Brett Jackson, one of the TechStars mentors and founder of Generation Think Tank, introduced me to his mother Jan who has celiac disease and sticks to a gluten-free diet. Jan was nice enough to share with me some of her favorite gluten-free items, one of which were these fabulous Skinny Crisps, produced in Lyons, CO.
