If you are missing cheese and crackers, and like sesame seeds, then these are worth a try! I have to be honest, from my experience, these are like marmite. I love them, but not everyone in my family does. People who like seeds or seeded bread tend to like these. If you try them and you like them, then you can re-introduce cheese and crackers back into your diet. How awesome is that!?
I will often make a batch of these and include them in my lunches for the week or I serve them with a cheese platter before dinner.
One of the great things I love about this recipe, is the nutritional benefits it provides. According to draxe.com, sesame seeds has numerous benefits including improving blood pressure, heart health and more. You can read more on the benefits of sesame seeds on draxe’s website.
