Emmerwheat and seeds crackers

This recipe makes use of nutrient-packed emmer wheat flour, rich in fibre and protein, with a low glycaemic index to support a healthy diet. The blend of seeds provides essential healthy fats, protein and a range of vitamins and minerals, making these crackers both wholesome and delicious.

Eve’s tip: Don’t let any dough go to waste! After cutting out the crackers, reroll any scraps and repeat the process. Experiment with different seeds or even chopped nuts to create your own unique flavours.
