Flax Seed Recipes
and Low Carb Crackers

Flax seed recipes are vegan raw crackers that you can easily make at home.  Flax seeds are very low in "net" carbs, so it's very easy to make a variety of low carb crackers using flax seeds.

And flax seeds make a great binder, so it's easy to make low carb crackers using ground flax seeds with many types of low carb vegetables or fruits.  You can keep it real simple or be very creative!  You can just make the basic flax seed recipe or a more savory one.

Basic Low Carb Crackers

This is the most basic way to make a flax seed cracker recipe...

  1. Just soak your ground or whole flax seeds in water.  Then mix with a seasoning.
  2. Then dehydrate until crispy.

You can make a savory low carb cracker with an Italian or Mexican flavor with the seasonings that you decide to use in this recipe.

I love the idea of putting thin slices of fruit on top of your flax seed recipes - it's just beautiful!
