Citric Acid Free Seed Power Crackers
Crunchy, nutty, and deeply savory, these seed-packed crackers are the kind of snack that disappears fast once they hit the table. Five different seeds — pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, flax, and chia — come together with egg whites and olive oil to form a slab that bakes into something genuinely satisfying, with real texture and a toasty depth that store-bought crackers rarely deliver. For anyone navigating a citric acid sensitivity, finding packaged snacks and crackers can feel like a minefield, since preservatives and flavor enhancers sneak into ingredient lists constantly. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, so you know exactly what you're eating. The smoked paprika, turmeric, and garlic powder give these a warm, complex flavor without relying on anything processed or problematic. The technique is simple — mix, press thin, bake, score, and bake again — and the result is a crisp, golden cracker that holds up beautifully to dips, cheese, or just a sprinkle of flaky salt on its own.
