So if you want to cook them at home here how to prepare a cracker.

Preparation:

1. Put all ingredients in a blender until fine crumbs.

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.

Enrico,
For what it’s worth, I’ve seen English writers use “a” and “an” before an “h” word. Silly thing for someone to get worked up about. Thanks so much for the recipe! I’m excited to try it…
