My first REAL success!

[janus.rising]

This afternoon, my partner in crime and I made flax crackers and sweet potato chips and popped them in our dehydrator. Just went to check on them before heading off to bed and the flax crackers are bangin'! The sweet potatoes are still a little chewy, so I'm hoping they will crisp throguhout the night.

The excitement comes because we really haven't found any real raw recipes that have knocked our socks off yet, so I am totally stoked that the crackers are so good. It also helps a lot because I've always been a salty chip kind of guy and I have a feeling that these crackers will help me get away from those tortilla chips I love so much!

One quickie question...is there a huge taste difference between the dark flax and the golden? We used dark, but wondering what the real difference taste-wise is between the two?

Glad to hear you found a cracker recipe you like!

I find myself that the golden flax are a tiny bit milder in taste than the brown flax seeds. But I'm not sure if it's noticeable to anyone else.

For looks, some people find golden flax a little more appealing when starting off as it mimics the chip like look a bit more. They are great to have with raw dips like hummus, guacamole, beetroot, carrot etc.

With the sweet potato, I find the trick is to slice them really finely with a mandoline so they crisp up nicely.

Have fun!
