Like Polly, people sometimes want a cracker. Sometimes we even need a cracker to serve ourselves or our guests some great dips. Even people who control their diabetes on a very low carb diet sometimes want a cracker. But almost all the crackers you can find either have too many carbs or taste terrib...
The Best Crackers

I am leery of heating flaxmeal too much, too. And the bran crackers I have tried raise my BGLs. (Even the low carb ones.)
So I have created some cracker recipes using almond meal. They are fairly large and thick, but still have some crunch to them. One version uses a pizzelle baker to make them fancy.
You can find my cracker recipes in the Misc Recipes folder at my DARdreams website. There are pictures of some of them in the Recipe Pics folder there, too.
I also have a couple of eHow articles showing how to make my cracker recipes step-by-step with some pictures. They are listed with my other eHow articles on my website. One is How to Make Low Carb Herbed Crackers.
I hope this is helpful. I was craving crackers, too!

I have a question about whole flax seeds. I have read that they must be ground to be digestible otherwise they go right through the way birds plant a lot of seeds. Does the soaking and drying make them more digestible? I grind seeds for crackers but would rather use them whole. I guess some would be well chewed and just the low carb factor and flavor makes them desirable and perhaps lower in digestible calories.

I was in San Diego to attend Toorcon and was able some of the 2 Moms crackers at a Whole Food (which I always feel out of place in because I don't have any body piercings or tattoos). I got the tomato basil, but there's too much garlic in them for my taste. It seems that all the varieties that Whole Foods carries list garlic as an ingredient. The fact that the crackers cost over $60/lb. is also a bit off-putting.
I guess the thing to do is to buy some flax seeds from Trader Joe's and make your own, but I'm not in a position to do that at the moment.

Special K has come out with a new cracker. Check them out. They taste great.
Thanks for letting us know!
How many carbs do they have per ounce or per gram?
Best regards,
