Paleo -Almond Thin Crackers (Low Carb) Net Wt 8.5 oz ( 241g)

I do love the crackers, but the serving size:box size is off. There is no way to get that many servings from a box. AND... the crackers are quite small. I made my own hummus, guacamole and salsa to dip in. The cracker did not stand up to breaking in the humus and absorbed too much water from the salsa. It survived with the guacamole. The aftertaste is slightly sweet, so don't jump in expecting salty. I believe that is from the almonds as I have had similar results when I attempted my own crackers. See below for this.I sought out my own recipe and did a dehydrator version of this, and I actually got a few nice sized crackers for a better serving size for the same nutritional calorie size. I entered all the ingredients and divided it up equally by pre-scoring the crackers so that it would be crudely accurate. In any case, my total batch was still more than the boxed version. Maybe because it was dehydrated?They were good, but in light of hundreds of reviews that stated there were some false nutritional labeling, I became concerned that the products are not accurate (do a simple search for FDA warning to Julian Bakery). I have purchased their almond low carb bread as well as these crackers and sadly, I have had a spike in blood glucose on glucometer. I would not buy this if you are doing low carb or diabetic. I WOULD buy this if you don't care about your carbohydrate intake or like an alternative to flour crackers.

I actually really do like these crackers, and I don't work for Julian Bakery or have any association with them at all! I haven't eaten real crackers in years and these fill the void nicely. I can be prone to eating too many of them at once though, I have to watch that. The thing that drives me crazy about these though, and it's really just a silly thing but it makes me laugh every time, is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to open the box in such a way so that you can actually close it again. I've taken to making it my personal challenge to open the box so that I can reclose the top using the flaps, but you CAN'T, I mean you really can't do it. The flaps rip and become useless. The reason this actually is a big deal is that if you don't close the box and somewhat seal them up they go stale pretty fast. They lose their crunch and taste stale if you can't somehow get them sort of sealed up. But that's my only complaint. As for the customer service, I've had both ends of the spectrum with them--I've had them offer to replace items that were crumbly when I got them (the wraps), and I've also had them refuse to respond to e-mails asking them where my package was. I like many of their products enough that I keep buying them and will in the future.

On the plus side, these crackers have a subtle flavor, and provide a very chip-like experience.On the negative side, these crackers have a very subtle flavor, and provide a very chip-like experience.I should explain. The subtle flavor of these crackers is one that they're best left to sit on your tongue and savor for a while. But you won't want to do that. You'll want to eat them like chips. At the rate they are liable to be eaten in practice, they will be overeaten, and the meager amount you get for the price leaves your wallet feeling empty, too.I can't entirely blame the company for that, since it's a fact of the product they're making-- almonds are nuts, and nuts tend to be expensive. Buying a product that is almost entirely made of compressed nuts isn't likely to be cheap. But the very nature of that means that you have to have tempered expectations with this product. It's a 'sometimes food', and you can't eat it as freely as you do chips. And yet, that's the sort of promise a product like this conveys. It's what you're longing for.But you can't have that. It doesn't work that way.

I just received several boxes, although I was taken aback by the many negative reviews posted here. Fortunately, the box had about 90% intact crackers with several broken into smaller pieces. The inner plastic bag had a small tear. so I thought I would warm the crackers in a low oven for about 15 minutes before trying them. They are around the size of wheat thins, look somewhat like wheat thins but don't taste like them BECAUSE they're not made with wheat and don't contain any added sugars. They taste like natural almonds that have been toasted, ground, then formed into crackers. I found them nutty, with the aftertaste of whole almonds that have the skins on. Found them just fine with cheese, dips, etc... people are so used to crackers that have lots of hidden sugars, oils and salt. These are fairly low in sodium, 100mg per serving with no added sugar. Wheat thins are 230 mg sodium, with added sugar. I like wheat thins but if you're looking to reduce wheat in your diet, try these.

These taste pretty good to me. It's a hard taste to describe-- not sweet, not bland, almost a mild sort of spice, but not terrible-so. I've never been a big snacker, but I gave these a try on a whim. The good: they taste pretty good, they're convenient, and the ingredient list is great for a low-carb/ancestral-style diet. The bad: they're really expensive, and half of the bag was crushed upon arrival. I don't know if this is normal, as I've only ordered once, but it was pretty annoying. They ship in their own box, which was further within an undamaged Amazon shipping box, so I'm not sure at what point they got crushed. I still "drank" the crushed dust from the bag (a trick I learned back in my Dorito days), but it definitely felt less than ideal-- especially at this price point. Overall a good effort, but hard to see them as a snacking staple.

Don't get me wrong it was okay for what it was and to boot it was paleo, which I loved about it. however I found the crackers very dry, bland tasting even with dip and made my throat burn a little, I would say that is the chili powder in it, but I eat hot and spicy things frequently, so I would say thats not it, its kind of an irritating burn that gets in my throat, much like wasabi, someone said I could have been allergic to something in it, but I doubt it. I would recommend this to people that are in love with almonds and plain cracker taste, but this kind is not for me, I didn't even finish the box.
