You can have a lot of fun with these crackers and add any flavor you like. I’ve kept it simple with cumin and garlic, but you could add some parmesan cheese, sesame seeds or different spices. This recipe uses buckwheat as the key flour ingredient. Buckwheat is a gluten free grain and even though it contains wheat in it’s name it is a wheat free grain (technically it’s not even a cereal grain, it’s a fruit seed!) It’s a very nourishing and grounding grain to use and adds a lovely nutty flavour to your dishes. You can read more about the health benefits of buckwheat here.
Once you’ve baked these crackers, you can keep them stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, if they last that long! I would serve these crackers with my Hemp and Chickpea Hummus.
