(Gerry Furth-Sides) A photo of Mary’s Gone Crackers immediately got my attention because I have already fallen in love with Scandanavian ground stone crackers at Trader Joe’s. And they are made right here in the U.S.  Mary’s Gone Crackers turned out to be just as wonderful, if not more interesting, healthy and less expensive.  These remind me of the stars in the posh Spago Restaurant’s bread basket.   These have the same fun snap plus satisfying taste and texture that does not lead to hunger soon after with snacks that contain sugar.  

Four of the 15 flavors of the snappy, nutritious, delicious Mary’s Gone Crackers

In a stone ground product, nothing is added to the organically grown kernel of ground wheat when it made into shore wheat flour.  Here nothing is added, not even wheat to the ground seeds. But here Mary’s Gone Crackers start with a base of  whole grain brown rice and quinoa, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, sea salt and brown flax seeds. For the classic SUPER SEED, for example, poppy seeds, seaweed, black pepper and herbs are added.  They pair perfectly with any sharp cheesed cheese because they complement the texture and flavor.

These organic, gluten-free and vegan crackers are outstanding in the current  “shelter-at-home” snack craze. Mary’s can be paired with cheese, fruit, hummus and other dips.  They are perfect with soups or salads, as well.  This is not a snack that is “not unhealthy” but one that is both healthy and nutritious.  Each cracker offers a hearty source of protein to keep you full longer.  For the 15 varieties and where you can find them, check:Mary’s Gone Crackers.

Mary’s own story: I was a practicing psychotherapist, helping others to manifest their truest selves so they could live full, happy lives. But it took a chiropractor to help me realize mine. When I was 43, my chiropractor figured out I had celiac disease. It causes an inflammatory response when ingesting gluten, a protein found in wheat (and all its cousins), barley, rye and most oats. No wonder I had felt so bad for so long! Armed with this knowledge, I set to reclaiming my vitality and my life.

Added to the classic base, Mary’s Gone Crackers Super Seed Rosemary includes rosemary, garlic powder and herbs. The crackers add just the right touch to salads, here one of red oak lettuce, dried Cherries, gorgonzola and hazelnuts from Melissa’s Produce

“After cutting out all gluten, I was happier and more energetic than I had ever felt. To make my dietary transition easier, I began baking gluten-free goodies so I’d never feel deprived. (I’d always loved baking!) They had to be organic and gluten free. But if they didn’t taste indulgent, that was a deal-breaker. So I hit the kitchen and began baking crackers for myself – at first.  Neighbors liked them. Friends did, too. Then many others who weren’t gluten intolerant  (count this writer in!). Along the way, I realized my crackers also fed people’s hunger for something authentic and truthful in this processed and fortified world. I decided it was important to share what I had to offer and founded Mary’s Gone Crackers. We are happy she did.  Ideas can be found on the boxes and on the website:
