Flax crackers
A scrumptious hormone and gut balancer
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole golden flax seeds
- 2 cups filtered or mineral water
- Flavorings to choose from (or divide and rule…)
- 1 tbsp mild curry powder heated slightly in a dry pan
- 1 tbsp Italian mixed dried herbs heated gently on a dry pan and 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1/2 tbsp grated ginger (or 1 tsp dried ground ginger), 1 garlic clove, minced, pinch of Cayenne pepper and a good squeeze of lime juice
- 1 tbsp kelp powder, 2 tsp onion salt, 1 tsp garlic powder
Soak the flax seeds in the water for 24 hours, covered. If you leave them longer in a clod area (not the fridge) they will start to sprout and increase their nutrients and digestibility. Mix in flavourings of your choice. Spread the mix 1/8 inch thick onto grease-proof paper lining a pizza tray or grill tray. Heat the oven to 100°C and dehydrate for 4 hours. Spread another greaseproof paper on top and holding the edges tightly, turn the tray, peel off the first grease-proof paper and place the cracker mixture back in the oven for another 4-6 hours, until dry and crisp. Break into cracker size and enjoy with your favourite dip or with soups/salads.
