10 Best Organic Crackers with Basic Ingredients

As I continue with crackers to serve at your Super Bowl parties, I now delve into ones which are organic and contain basic ingredients. Additionally, I’ve found ones which are gluten free, contain ancient grains, and even grain free crackers. For my selections, it’s also important that the crackers are free of any seed oils.

In alphabetical order, here are the 10 best organic crackers with basic ingredients:

  

Artisan Tropic 

The origins of Artisan Tropic begin in 2012 when the Guzmans’ daughter Maca was diagnosed with autoimmune disease. They tried all types of medicine for treatment, resulting the holistic methods working the best. This led to the Guzmans becoming passionate about food and nutrition and deciding to produce healthy snacks. As they’re Colombian, they wanted to reinvent the plantain and cassava snacks, which they loved, by making them with whole and clean ingredients. Most recently, Maca married the plantain farmer’s son Joe Agudelo. Now Artisan Tropic’s entire process from farm to snack is literally in the family. They’ve been known for their plantain and cassava chips and are now making grain free crackers with plantain flour in the choices of sea salt, tomato herb, and chile lime.
