5 piece (medium) of Gluten-free flaxseed crackers (30 g) has 114 calories. That works out to 380 calories per 100 g. It contains 14.4 g of carbs, 2.1 g of protein, 4.8 g of fat and 2.4 g of fiber. Its 0.4 mg of Manganese covers 18% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 52 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Gluten-free flaxseed crackers are crisp, savoury crackers made with flaxseed. They work as a ready-to-eat snack, and the seeds lend a mild, nutty flavour and a little texture. Recipes and shapes vary, but they are generally served much like other crackers.
Enjoy them on their own or pair them with cheese, sliced vegetables, hummus or another dip; they also make a handy base for small bites. Flaxseed contributes fibre and fats, with 8 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter snack, serve a few with fresh vegetables and a simple dip rather than piling on rich toppings.

Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Gluten-free flaxseed crackers pair well with hummus, cheese, avocado, bean dip, or a thick yogurt dip. For a more filling snack, add a protein-rich topping rather than relying on crackers alone.
They can be a nutritious snack because flaxseed contributes fiber and unsaturated fats. Still, crackers are a packaged snack, not a complete meal; pair them with a protein source and check the ingredient list if you want to limit salt or added oils.
They can be, if the package confirms the crackers are made and handled to prevent gluten cross-contact. A gluten-free description alone may not tell you how the product was manufactured, so look for clear certification or a specific cross-contact statement.
Yes, you can make them at home by mixing ground flaxseed with gluten-free flour, water, and a little oil, then rolling the dough thin and baking it until crisp. Keep your utensils and work surface free of gluten if cooking for someone with celiac disease.
Keep gluten-free flaxseed crackers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Exposure to humidity can make them lose their crunch, while air, heat, and light can make the flaxseed oils deteriorate more quickly.
No, refrigeration is usually unnecessary. A sealed container in a cool, dry cupboard is better for keeping the crackers crisp; moisture in a refrigerator can soften them. Follow the package directions if they specify otherwise.
They do not cause weight loss on their own, though their fiber may help make a snack more satisfying. Keep the portion moderate and pair the crackers with protein, rather than treating them as a low-energy food.
Yes, their carbohydrates can raise blood sugar; flaxseed does not cancel that effect. Pairing a portion with protein or other fiber-rich foods may make the snack more balanced. If you have diabetes, follow your own glucose-monitoring plan.
They may taste bitter when the oils in flaxseed have oxidized, especially after exposure to air, heat, or light. Store the crackers sealed and away from sunlight, and discard them if they smell or taste distinctly rancid.
Yes, children can generally eat them if the texture is safe for their age and they have no relevant food restrictions. Offer them with a nourishing topping, and supervise young children while they eat to reduce choking risk.
