Is this supposed to be a recipe? _Which_ ingredients? Are we to guess from the package? Vegetable fats? “Cheese grain”? Eggs? How much? Eh?

He He Riley, sorry.

The ingredients are these:

* Wheat flour
* Tomato (20%)
* Not hydrogenated vegetable fats
* Extra virgin olive oil (2,8%)
* Salt
* Cheese grain (Parmesan) (1,65%)
* Barley flour
* Oregano (0,5%)
* Natural yeast
* Eggs

Quantity depends on your needs. Here you can see the proportions.

To have an idea consider that 5 crackers are 1 ounce.

- Vegetables fats = Margarines
- Cheese Grains = What in Italy we call Parmiggiano or Grana Padano see here
- Eggs = 2 Raw eggs to put in

Let me know if you need more info.

It’s hard to take this website seriously because of the bad grammar. Please….an healthy snack? It’s A healthy snack and a few more that are very obvious.

I’m sorry Nancy for the grammar error, but I’m Italian and not a professional english writer…

I don’t think that if I write “an” instead of “a” the principles of healthy eating change…not?

If you didn’t understand what I wrote please let me know and I’ll try to correct.
