Trader Joe's Gluten Free Norwegian Crispbread, 214g

What do Vikings and TJ's have in common? Well, TJ's isn't planning on going on raids or building an empire (unless that empire is selling high-quality, delicious foods), but both have traveled the world trading goods, and... crispbread.

It is believed that crispbread can be traced back to the Vikings, who stored it on ships for long journeys across sea. They lived on spare diets in terms of crops and produce due to the cold weather, but crispbread was one food that brought them sustenance. TJ's buyers foraged (a more exciting way to say "worked") for months to get their hands on the perfect TJ's Whole Grain Crispbread, and succeed they did.

But then we began to wonder... What about the gluten-intolerant Vikings? Surely they, too, would have enjoyed and benefited from a hearty Crispbread from time to time, right? Well, while we can't amend the past, we can enhance the present - with TJ's Gluten Free Crispbread.

You may not be journeying for months on a knar (Viking merchant ship) anytime soon, but we think our made-in-Norway Gluten Free Crispbread will be an excellent addition to your everyday diet. Its ingredients include sunflower, sesame, and flax seeds; oat flakes; rice bran; potato fiber; and a few other straightforward additions, like salt and a touch of honey. With 4g of protein and 3g of fiber per cracker, a Viking could live off of these! They're mildly salty and totally seedy - with a coarse, crumbly, oh-so-gratifying crunch.

You can serve Gluten Free Crispbread alone, but you can also serve them as an appetizer with TJ's Cream Cheese and Everything But The Bagel Seasoning, or as a dipping partner for a steaming bowl of Organic Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup.
