These gluten-free crackers from Ener-G boast a formula that's made with potato starch, corn, cinnamon and sugar. Unlike many new food and beverage products that are being introduced to consumers, the Cinnamon Cracker boasts a low-protein formula. The company began its dedication to low-protein products in the 60s, specifically for renal pre-dialysis patients and other consumers who are restricted by their diets. Now, Ener-G takes pride in producing a range of wheat-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free baked goods.
To keep the products as fresh as possible until they are ready to be consumed, the brand uses a vacuum packaging process.
As Ener-G notes about its Cinnamon Crackers, "crushed, they make a wonderful pie crust and, surprisingly, makes a good breakfast cereal with your favorite milk or milk substitute."
