Dehydrated Flax Crackers

By on

I am gluten free, dairy free and egg free due to allergies and intolerances. I also follow a paleo/vegan diet in that I eat some organic meats, but mostly concentrate on lots of leafy green, vegetables, healthy oils, nuts and seed.

Some days I miss bread, but mostly I make lunch wraps with romaine lettuce leaves and or flax crackers.

Many people have asked me for my flax cracker recipe and so here it is. I have only ever made this recipe in my Excalibur dehydrator so I do not know if they will work being cooked in a low heated oven or not. Having a dehydrator in your kitchen in an added bonus and something you might like to think about buying if you are looking for alternatives to bread. We make flax crackers and kale chips weekly in our dehydrator. The four tray Excalibur dehydrator is not overly expensive and can be purchased online. Also check online for a second hand dehydrator. Many people opt to buy one and then never use it so often times you can snag one for a great price.

I prefer the square shape dehydrators with the fan at the back. I originally had a round dehydrator, but found it difficult to spread things with the fan in the middle. There are many options out there so take your time and shop around for what best suits your needs.

Benefits of eating flax crackers- use flax crackers in place of bread. Layer healthy meats, avocado and sprouts and you have a healthy alternative to a sandwich, or spread mashed avocado or hummus on top of flax crackers.

Flaxseed also called linseeds are a rich source of micronutrients, dietary fibre, manganese, vitamin B1, and essential fatty acids known as ALA or Omega-3. The North American diet is often times high in Omega-6 ( inflammatory foods) and low in Omega- 3 ( anti- inflammatory foods) so flaxseed is a super food to add into your daily menu planning.

Pumpkin seeds offer a wide variety of nutrients ranging from magnesium, copper, protein and zinc. They also contain plant compounds called phytosterols and antioxidants, which are good for your overall health

  5. These look delicious! Thanks for the recipe. I will definitely try them. My dehydrator instructions recommended drying nuts and seeds at 95-105 degrees, but I bet that’s for when drying them independently. I am making my own cracker recipe for the first time in my dehydrator right now and based on your recipe will turn up the temperature and probably have more success. 🙂

  40. Balancing rotors plays a crucial role in ensuring the longevity and reliability of equipment. But where did this technology come from, and how has it evolved?

    Initially, rotor balancing was done manually. Craftsmen attached weights to the rotor and checked its evenness by eye. With technological advancements, the first electronic devices appeared, allowing more accurate vibration measurements and precise placement of balancing weights. Modern devices, such as the Balanset-1A, have become a breakthrough, providing high measurement accuracy and automatic balancing calculations.

    Modern balancing instruments like the Balanset-4 ensure measurement reliability and accuracy, which helps extend equipment lifespan and reduce repair costs. These devices are equipped with microprocessors and laser sensors, making them vital in today’s industrial settings.

    If you aim to enhance the reliability and efficiency of your equipment, consider investing in modern balancing instruments. They help reduce component wear and prevent costly breakdowns.
