Doctor in the Kitchen's new Flax & Fonio Ancient Grain Crackers spotlight a member of the millet family that's native to West Africa. The crackers can be found in varieties like Everything, Garden Vegetable and Sea Salt, and they share the nutritious benefits of their star ingredients.
Fonio, an ancient grain, is setting itself apart as a grain of the future because it's gaining popularity among health-conscious consumers for being gluten-free, vegan and full of vitamins, minerals and protein. Similarly, flax is appreciated for its mild flavor, fiber-rich content and versatility as a food ingredient.
This new addition to Doctor In The Kitchen's plant-based cracker line was introduced at the 2022 Winter Fancy Food Show.
