mmcphee's Full Review: Wasa Crispbread, Hearty, 9.7 Oz Boxes (Pack Of 12)
As we have embarked on our new Prevent and Reverse Heart Diseaseplant-based diet, I find myself spending a lot of time focused on food; grocery shopping for "safe" foods, in the kitchen baking, cooking and of course, cleaning up all the mess. When I find a packaged food that fits into our diet that my family will eat I stock up. I have a cabinet with several packages of Wasa Hearty Crispbreads.
What You Get Each package comes with 19 flatbreads, each about 2" X 5" and ¼" thick. One side of each bread is smooth, while the other is dimpled. Each large cracker contains 45 calories, 0g fat, 11g carbohydrates (2g fiber, 0g sugar) 70 mg sodium and 1g protein. They are made with 100% whole grain: whole grain rye flour, water, yeast and salt.
Our Experience I was as little hesitant about trying Wasa Hearty Crispbreads, since I have never met a rye bread that I could even stand the smell of. I was pleased that these have no rye bread flavor at all; in fact they really don't have much of any flavor to speak of. Nondescript toast is about the only flavor I can come up with. Wasa Hearty Crispbreads are really just a vehicle for getting a dip into your mouth; in our house either salsa or hummus. The dimples on the top help them hold onto any dips. These crackers are super crisp, and due in part to their thickness, they are extremely crumbly but they also hold up well to any dip. We have never had one break off in any dip bowl.
Not exactly delicious, nor particularly nutritious, Wasa Hearty Crispbreads do fit into our new way of eating. They are low in calories, have plenty of whole grains, they are low in sodium, and have no fat or sugar. They aren't bad plain, just nothing to get excited over. No matter what you put on the cracker that is the taste that comes through. My kids happily munch on these and even take them to school for a snack with salsa.
My biggest complaint is with the packaging. The crackers come in a single waxed paper like sleeve, surrounded by a paper wrapper. Once you open the package you will need to provide your own storage container since the waxed paper sleeve rips easily.
Final Thoughts Wasa Hearty Crispbreads are a snack option that my whole family will eat, so long as there is something to spread on them or dip them into. They have almost no flavor on their own but that makes them a good choice for a tasty dip; no competing flavors. They work well into out plant-based diet and for others looking for an oil-free whole grain cracker, Wasa Hearty Crispbreads are a good one to try.
